Been traveling around Europe at the moment and mostly stay with friends and family, but whenever I can I enjoy staying with hosts as I get to experience the city/place through a locals perspective, and keeps travels on a budget :)I love to backpack and hike around, camping is a joy and I tend to travel solo and meet new/old friends along the way. I am studying to become a high school teacher as education is a passion of mine alongside social justice.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have couchsurfed a lot but not 'officially' through the website as it has worked out that I know a friend or a friend of a friend when I needed a place to stay.
It has been magical how it all has been working out. .. Hence the lack of references, which for some make a big difference and I am working on getting some of my friends I've stayed with to share their reviews.

Music, Movies, and Books

go through so many phases of genres and stories that interest me. at this moment been reading articles and books on economics (a really great read is "Debt the first 5000 years" by David Graeber, whose economic discussions he began in the park sparked the Occupy Wall Street movement, really awesome mind).
to balance the non-fiction i like to read pages of Roald Dahl and Aldous Huxley when time...
Public radio is the bomb
Joss Whedon will forever have my tv heart.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Being exactly where I need to be, conversing with the people I have met along the journey. ... I really loved the time I have spent on native reservations in Canada and the stories/people I have learned from.

Teach, Learn, Share

words rock my worlds - love to share, if you need help with phrasing. fast learner so can help a hand with practical stuff (fixing things, cooking, cleaning, etc). dish washer master. experience with super grassroots activism can teach/share/learn facilitating such activities like free school style gatherings, or workshops. I would like to learn how to be more useful with my hands and building things.

What I Can Share with Hosts

lots of stories and a helping hand. I love to clean ddishes and also give wicked massages!
