ABOUT ME

I am a very happy and outgoing person, love to party, go for a few cocktails, talk about deep topics. I love culture and art and meeting new people.
I'm also a very political person- this is a topic I can talk and listen to for hours.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love travelling and meeting people from all over the world. Travelling makes you open-minded to so many viewpoints and ensures you remember the important things in life. Travellers are simple and soak up everything in their surroundings- a way of life I have learned to embrace and want to continue living.

Interests

I'm a singer-songwriter. I sing, compose, play piano. I adore music and arts in general.
I'm also a poet. I write, and write, and strive to better every day.
I love design and media- I have recently discovered photoshop and love playing with cameras and making music videos.
I enjoy arts- going to museums, concerts, exhibitions- from any age be it impressionist to modern.
My passion for the environment and social justice drive me forward: I have been involved in green activism since age 11 and have developed a liberal, left-wing political viewpoint. I believe in equality and justice for all, in building sustainable cities and communities everyone can thrive in.
Entrepreneurship- these are the people that invent and dare to be different and re-create the world around them.
Philosophy- I practice Meditation and the 4th way philosophy, which teaches mindfulness and peace in the individual through self-awareness and self-discipline.
