CURRENT MISSION

life is a dance

ABOUT ME

i'm very interested in peoples' varied life experiences. i like to make things. i like to explore. i like to find things. i'm fascinated by the subtle differences and similarities in people all over the world and the places we live. i think it is really neat that the earth is a ball. it is much safer than if it were flat, it makes it much harder to fall off.

good things: water, air, wind in your hair, the moment after a rain shower when the sun comes out, tea with friends, color, bicycles, things that make noises, boats and adventures, cartoon snow, walking, throwing rocks into water, listening, secret places, music, and cookies.

PHILOSOPHY

just do it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've hosted surfers when I'm not travelling and have met some very diverse and interesting people. I am ever so grateful when I can surf on my travels, it provides a personal connection that i really enjoy while travelling.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

couchsurfing has been an amazing way to meet people. whether hosting or surfing myself, i am always amazed by people's generosity and the interesting people that you meet along the way.

finding weird things, eating good foods, experiencing each moment to its fullest, meeting people, trying to move like i've never moved before, sharing experiences with other people : )
