About Me

Just here to support this amazing site for now. Will be back for adventures soon... <3

Interests

I absolutely adore traveling. I mean, why else would I be here?
Among that, I love music (it makes the world go round) and most art. I am really into photography, I find it amazing to be able to share a perspective that someone else might not see by merely taking a photo of it. Reading is always a favourite past time as well; Anything that allows me to get lost in another world.

One day I plan to delve into the world of human anatomy and mind, as I am extremely interested in psychology and most sciences concerning the human body and how it works mentally and physically.

People. Enough said. Different cultures and ways of life and how complex the world is just blows my mind.
As Troy Barnes would say 'you just wrinkled my brain'.

Having someone share their experiences is, without a doubt, one of my favourite conversation topics. Different perspectives of life intrigue me, and I cant hold myself back from asking questions about it, so the topic comes up no matter who you are.

Language. Its my goal in life to learn at least two other languages by the time I'm forty, not including sign language. Ambitious?

Physical activity! I love to cycle, rollerblade, swim, hike in the mountains, explore caves, you name it! If it involves adventure or pushing my body to the limits of something I am all for it!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music - Eclectic range. For example; Crystal Castles, Teenage Bottlerocket, Andy McKee, The Tragically Hip, The Scene Aesthetic, Hollywood Undead (dont judge me...), Die Antwoord to name a few.

Movies - Anything that seriously f_cks with your head. A Beautiful Mind, Number 23, The Excorcist, The Departed, Lucky Number Sleven.
- If Jim Carrey is in it, I love it. Funniest man alive.
- Most genres; Comedy, Rom Coms, horror, Sci Fi. Im easy going when it comes to movies, if it has some sort of meaning or makes you laugh. But I hate movies that are meant to just make the men of the world feel manly. The Expendables? What crap.

Books - Ill read almost anything you put in front of me! Though these days comics and graphic novels are more so read than anything : Preacher, Walking Dead, anything by Craig Thompson, Tintin, etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- Biking through the Bavarian mountains of Germany. In fact, traveling and meeting new people of any culture are breath taking, no matter how you look at it, or whether it was a positive or negative experience.

- By the age of 21, I have seen more in the world than most people have in a lifetime, traveled to over 30 different countrys, all of which I have done with my own money and my own drive. I think thats pretty amazing.

-cycled through Western Europe for a period of five months, my home in my back (literally, as I slept in a tent), and lived to tell the many tales!

Teach, Learn, Share

"Treat people as if they were what they ought to be and you help them become what they are capable of becoming."

“All travel has its advantages. If the passenger visits better countries, he may learn to improve his own. And if fortune carries him to worse, he may learn to enjoy it.”

The most recent to be added I must lay thanks to a good friend I met through couchsurfing, actually.

"I don't want to earn a living. I want to live." -thanks, Dries.
