About Me

Hi! I'm a Philosophy and Politics student, currently hitchhiking. I'm a cheerful and talkative person, that enjoys silly dancing and passionate discussions, in all sorts of topics. I would be enormously grateful to anyone willing to put me up, and am not picky about couches, mattresses or floors.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

What I like the most about travelling is having tiny glimpses of the different lives people live and the world they inhabit. Being a tourist, however, so often results in a regurgitated, standardised experience, which is why I like to couchsurf. Couchsurfing, and hitchhiking (my preferred mode of travel), reintroduce the possibility of chance encounters, surprises and new discoveries. This has led me to meet so many wonderful people, and build both fleeting and lasting relationships that make travelling worthwhile
