About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To travel and get to know as many places and people as I can.

ABOUT ME

I'm outgoing, easy-going and interested in everything about wherever I'm travelling. I'm easy to get along with, and I enjoy new experiences and meeting the great people I've met through couch surfing!

PHILOSOPHY

You must immerse yourself in an unfamiliar world in order to truly understand your own.

No learning is ever wasted

On ne voit bien qu'avec le cœur. L'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

As I'm traveling around quite a lot, I'm hoping to star of participating by surfing, however once I settle down for my Masters, I hope to participate by in community events and by hosting surfers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've now tried couchsurfing two time and I've had amazing experiences both times. I look forward to meeting other great hosts!

Interests

Anything and everything! Sports (soccer, ultimate frisbee, volleyball, etc..) Traveling, getting to know places and people. Art (in museums, but also sketching and drawing myself). Books (particularly of the fantasy genre, I'm hoping to write my own one day).
I really enjoy discussing (and learning) about politics and history. And I'm always up for a good hike, especially if there is beautiful scenery.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I did a three week road trip across South Africa with my sister where I saw and some of the most beautiful sights I've ever seen. The Valley of A Thousand Hills, Standing on Table Mountain, a herd (or a dazzle) of zebras passing us by, with young in tow.

Teach, Learn, Share
