ABOUT ME
I'm still on the path of self-discovery, and I believe that this will be a life long journey! I worked for 4 years doing product development for a jewelery company, I recently graduated with a degree in graphic design in london, and I already have a degree in environmental science. Nature is a big passion, and creativity possibly a bigger passion, so I hope to combine the two and do my bit in 'designing' a more sustainable and beautiful future. I am also an avid photographer, preferring film and 'lo-fi' camera's and lots of experimentation. I love water, in any form, be it a drizzle or an azure sea. I love wheat beers. I love strawberries and chocolates. I prefer sun rises to sun sets, but i am a night owl so i get to see them only when I've been up all night. I love going grocery shopping, and I enjoy cooking. I am vegetarian, but will try everything at least once. I am intrigued and interested in the Japanese culture and dream to travel and live there someday.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Always happy to meet and show around any travelers in my neck of the woods. I can be quite busy with working full time now, but still drop me a line and hopefully you have picked a good week :)
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Made a brilliant trip to Hungary where I surfed for the first time with the lovely Annamari in Budapest and the lively Gabriella in Eztergom!
Both amazing experiences and I look forward to meeting more people through the community.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Firewalking. Supposed to be a very spiritual experience, but I had done it when I was 14 and it just seemed 'cool' and exciting at the time. I still haven't figured out if it meant anything more, but it sure was cool and exciting!
