About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I lived in South Korea for around 4.5 years and during that time I hosted and surfed a lot, which I loved! I also walked 400km across Bavaria last summer, during which time I also surfed a lot, which made my trip 1000x more memorable.

We are both nice, a bit wacky, warm-hearted, up for a laugh, and open-minded!

PHILOSOPHY

Be the change you want to see in the world.
Sometimes, not getting what you wanted is a great stroke of luck.
Everyday is a gift. Everyday is best.
