About Me

I don't even know what I'm like and I believe that words are simply ineffable to describe me. I mean I know myself but I cannot possibly know how others truly see me - and here's the philosopher in me making an appearance
But here are a few things that others said about me at some point:
super personable - or so they say :)
easy to interact with
fun and smart
clean and quiet at home
brave and wild outdoors

I took a year off to travel so here I am
I teach some language lessons online to help finance my roamings

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm in it for the people
I love meeting locals because I see it as the best way to truly discover another culture and learn from it
