My philosophy is to always keep an open mind, throw yourself outside of your comfort zone and to never pass on a new experience. I believe this is the best way to nurture and broaden your mind.

I love Couchsurfer and have loved the people I have met through it, can't believe I have had it for so long and have just started using it.

Aiming on building a global circle of friends.

I'm pretty easy, will do most things, always up for trying something new. You don't know till you've done it, and it's only funny if you do it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Writers need stimulus and good company, as well as time alone. Sharing stories and hearing about other people’s experiences is delightful and inspiring. Every now and then I just want to take off and go somewhere, and be surprised.
