CURRENT MISSION To make every moment count. ABOUT ME I´m a fairly mellow cat for the most part. I enjoy finding quiet moments of connection, getting lost in late night conversations, stumbling upon the beautiful in the mundane, succumbing to hysterical fits of laughter and being reminded of what a beautiful and precious thing this life can be. PHILOSOPHY I try my best to make a difference in this life. I believe that we are all interconnected, for the better or the worse.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING At the moment, I´m travelling so a couch and great conversation are at the top of my list. I think what interests me most about this project is that it opens up so many possibilities for connection which in some ways is the traveller´s ultimate goal. And whenever I decide to play house again, I´ll be more than happy to open my door. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I´m a newbie.
