About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To see every corner of this earth laughing, loving, and living my way all around it

ABOUT ME

I'm passionate about my family, friends, life, love, spirituality, laughing, art, dreams, cultures, music & having a blast. I was born in London and moved to New York City when I was 7. Currently I am getting my masters in Media and Culture at Sodertorn University in Sweden.

I LOVE/LIVE to travel and want to continue doing so forever and ever.

PHILOSOPHY

"To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded." Ralph Waldo Emerson

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have hosted people both in Korea, and here in Sweden. Have yet had the opportunity to be a surfer - sometimes having friends all over helps! And I am not shy about enjoying the life and people you meet at hostels. I like to attend events and gatherings when possible.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted some wonderful surfers, and look forward to many more.
