Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting interesting people and getting local suggestions rather than doing whatever is on the travel brochures. I like weird museums, abandoned buildings, graffiti, cool pubs, and flea markets. Also, the first place I look for when i arrive in any city is the best park to hangout in so if you have any suggestions let me know!

Interests

I enjoy having a drink on the weekends at concerts with friends. I mainly listen to hardcore punk music but i also enjoy alot of different genres. I havent learned to play any instruments yet but would love to learn guitar or synth! Also enjoy hiking/exploring/reading/going to the beach during the week.

I feel passionately about mental health advocacy and introducing mental health education into schools as a way to build resilience and i hope to work in a similar field one day.

Philosophy and self improvement also interest me quite alot.
