About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Finding someone to host me in Finland so that I can check out their amazing Education system.

ABOUT ME

I'm currently a student, however I do like to travel as much as possible to see other cultures and experience life from other perspectives, but mostly just for the feeling of freedom that comes with having your bag on your back without the burden of trivial responsibilities.
If I had to describe myself in way of my most prominent qualities they'd most probably be 'sociable' 'studious' 'adventurous'and 'determined'.
I'd like to go so far as to say that I'm amicable company, however I only get an intrinsic view of myself and it's biased, so who am I to say! Just joking I'm pretty fun if I do say so myself.
I'm happy to spend my time in many ways so long as they are interesting. This could be anything from discussing Giroux over coffee to dancing drunkenly with friends in a bar.



I'm passionate about education and what it has to offer beyond

PHILOSOPHY

Find what you enjoy and enjoy it, be polite to people even if you don't like them and don't take yourself too seriously. Learning to laugh at myself was the best skill I ever aquired.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can't currently host as I live with my parents but once I move out that couch is on the market! I'm interested in surfing based upon expanding my educational experiences at the moment.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've not done anything as amazing as I'd like to so far.
Waking up everyday for 3 weeks looking at the Himalayas was rather inspirational.
