I'm very social, adventurous and easy-going. I'm also a huge nerd: lifelong board game addict, video game developer, obsessed with Game of Thrones, etc. I love the outdoors, especially kayaking and skiing. I love electronic music festivals: the dancing, the costumes, the people and all the fun times to be had. I love meeting and connecting with new people, being spontaneous and challenging myself! I can also spit mad fire on the mike at karaoke, so watch out!

I’m also super passionate about the left-wing progressive movement - social justice, BLM, feminism, education, and addressing income/wealth inequality (Basic Income!) and climate change.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I'm traveling I think the best way to experience a new city is to meet and connect with locals, and couch surfing seems like the best way to do that!

Interests

I love electronic music, and I'm always up to go out dancing! Same goes for hiking and skiing. I try to hit up multiple music festivals every summer, and love hearing about local festivals. I'm a massive Hip hop addict, and love me some karaoke!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach people board games, swap favorite movies and music. I'm also an encyclopedia of random science facts that I regurgitate at random moments.

What I Can Share with Hosts
