About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To see the world through the eyes of others

ABOUT ME

I'm a traveler, buffeted by fate and some personal agency to lands here and there. Maybe I will find a place to call home one day. Currently studying at Oxford and enjoying the proximity to some amazing places on Earth.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that empathy, a deeper understanding of the lives and experiences of others, is the most powerful thing in this world. It bridges, it transcends, it brings joy.

I have mostly been surfing around, but this year I will begin to host for the first time. Any tips are totally welcome!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had a really lovely stay in Bristol that made me decide to couchsurf more often. It was then that I truly began to understand the ineffable spirit that underpins couchsurfing.
