I can't host anyone in February since I'm not in the country and can't plan enough in advance to reply to requests for March or later.

--------

When given the option to choose, I'll go with silly over safe, fun over productive and will always be the person with the craziest stories in the room. Any room.

Quite frequently I forget my glasses are not sunglasses and get caught intensely staring at strangers I find interesting. This often results in some of the above mentioned funny stories.

I found the best coffee in Berlin, best cheesecake, best Asian restaurant, best underground club, best flea market, best cocktail bar and probably a few others I can't think of right now.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For the experience, the ability to meet new and interesting individuals, travel and hang out in the best spots in town and restoring my faith in human kindness.

Interests

I'm a professional people watcher and do photography and video. I love meeting new people and hearing about what excites them and what makes them thick.
I love learning and researching things I know nothing about.
Knowledge and curiosity are probably the strongest forces that move me forward in life.
Traveling, photography, new music, dancing, saying up all night, cooking, tea, lazy mornings, wandering around and getting lost in new places, giggles.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I met a guy while on holiday in London and we ended up getting engaged after spending two weeks together - we moved to Berlin together in March 2013 .
The relationship didn't last, but while he and I stayed best friends, I fell in love with Berlin, which I feel is probably the best place on earth and has this special magic no one can quite put to words.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My outlook on life which I get told quite regularly is different and special, my cooking which I have perfected to quite an impressive level over the years and my photography knowledge - so anyone in need of good professional photos, I'm happy to help with that.
