Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
My mission is to help create a greener world where more people ride bikes, grow their own food and respect the environment and each other more.
ABOUT ME
I am a student who enjoys travelling, meeting friends, new cultures and trying anything once. I try to be considerate of everyone because life is better when people get along. My main passions are music (anything from John Coltrane to Prokofiev to Joker) and literature. I play the guitar and the piano too. I think any kind of art that can provoke a strong reaction or any kind is worthwhile. Sport is something I love too, especially football, cycling and running; the latter two, I find, are very calming and are wonderful ways to see new places or explore a city. I lived in Paris for a year and since, I have been eager to learn more about other cultures and people from around the world. I think it's a great lesson to step away from your own culture because you learn so much about yourself and gain a new perspective on all things. Now with couchsurfing I feel like I could go anywhere, and there will always be friendly people willing to welcome me in.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I ran with bulls at the San Fermin festival. Pretty scary stuff, but the vino rojo makes it less terrifying. I also have fond memories of the wonderful Parisian sunsets that would happen most nights in summer, quand j'y habitais.
Teach, Learn, Share
I like the philosophy of sharing skills. If someone has something they could teach me I would be really keen to give it a try. And I could teach you guitar or how to make an origami 'crane'. Y'know the best thing about easy origami... it makes it easier by two-fold. :}
