CURRENT MISSION

to be mindful and grateful.

ABOUT ME

happy, idealistic, sarcastic, argumentative, easygoing, extremely organised at work but totally random otherwise. i love creating things especially with my hands.

PHILOSOPHY

i would much rather regret things i do than things i don't.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

giving advice to visitors. hosting is a bit difficult with 2 people in our flat plus an absolutely adorable but noisy baby :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

i've surfed couches and floors all over the world. parquet, tile, linoleum, grass mats, carpets, leaky waterbeds, hammocks - all equally enjoyable.
