CURRENT MISSION

Get a feel for Europe this year.

ABOUT ME

I love the amateur conversations about philosophy that last long into the night, the passing quote that takes your breath away, the magic that technology brings into our lives, the childish buzz of a new adventure, the stranger that breaks the ice so quickly you'd tell them anything, the crackle of fire, the songs that dance around your head for days...I love life

PHILOSOPHY

"I'd rather be ashes than dust"-Jack London (still hammering out my own)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm new to this and am just looking for places to stay across Europe for the moment. I am happy to cook for my hosts, swap stories and be as fun or as independent as suits. I will reciprocate in the not too distant future. Honest.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None through this site, but I've slept on many a couch. I understand that I need to respect that I am entering someone's home, but I also know that they let me into it for a reason.
