CURRENT MISSION

Expanding horizon in fire, fairytale and creative matters!

ABOUT ME

I am a generally relaxed person who loves to experience activity of many kinds. Currently I'm studying in Dunedin NZ working on a PhD on the Brothers Grimm Fairytales.

PHILOSOPHY

Everything in moderation, including moderation.

Do unto others as you have done unto yourself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like to get myself involved in things. By actually mentally and physically doing things you get to taste and experience, not just live vicariously through others.

Interests
