CURRENT MISSION

Hone my writing skills, both creatively and professionally, and discover more deeply and clearly what I want to give to the world.

ABOUT ME

I'm pretty laidback. I like being social and alone equally. Depends on my mood.

I'm currently working as a freelance writer and digital marketer. Also secretly working on a book :).

The great thing about working online is that I can do it from anywhere!

So I've been travelling for the past 10 months, through Australia, Japan and now Thailand.

PHILOSOPHY

To pick one: Know thyself - Socrates

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

I couldn't possibly list everything here, but I'll say I'm currently reading Iron John, The Twelve and Inevitable.
I will always be a sci-fi/fantasy nerd at heart.

I like a lot of different music, from classical to folk to reggae, I'm a big old school hip hop head (Tribe, Biggie, Wutang, J-Dilla, etc.), I love classic rock (Floyd, Zeppelin, Stones, etc.), lately I've been listening to a lot of Alt-J, Gotye, Kendrick Lamar, and Jose Gonsalez.

Movies: Tarantino, Scorcese, anything with Daniel Day Lewis, trippy mind-blowing movies of sci-fi, fantasy type stuff. Getting into Iñárritu and loving it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been amazingly lucky to have traveled throughout my life, so a few things come to mind: roasting marshmellows over running lava in Guatemala, playing chess in Paris parks, skydiving outside of Prague, petting cheetahs in Kenya.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach English and I'm pretty good at French. I can cook pretty well, could always cook someone a meal and leave them with a good recipe. Also I can always recommend a good book to read!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Presence, gratitude, deep conversation. Or light conversation ;).
