About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to find my doubleganger

ABOUT ME

Moved to Europe at age 16, straight out of graduation from high school. Spent three months in Costa Rica while living in Madrid for over a year, worked in Graz, went to uni in Edinburgh for a bit, danced there and in Vienna. Relocated to Munich in 2004 and spent 9 months in NYC during that time. I took up a job in Istanbul last Sept of 2009. I moved back to Europe (Vienna) after six months, though I must have spent half of 2010 in NYC. On a whim while in Edinburgh I decided to go work in London. It was always my dream to live in France, so of course I snatched the opportunity to come to Geneva in the summer.

PHILOSOPHY

It's the heart that is life's compass.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I opened this account after hearing about CS and thought it was a neat idea. Since I've lived in so many European countries, I've made so many friends that I'd never had to couchsurf until this one audition in Paris came up. I am so grateful to all the people who have put me up (and with my antics) and hope to be able to offer my couch to others once I get myself into more permanent accommodation.

Le Petit Prince

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I walked 3 kilometers in lightening and thundering rain . There were no street lights as I was next to farmland in northern Bavaria, so it was in pitch black darkness. I couldn't even read the street signs. An experience I will never forget. Journeys like this really give you an epiphany.
