About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to love being lost and alone

ABOUT ME

Music is the one thing I can do for 10 hours, and instead of it having a draining effect, it gives me energy.

I know that I don't know very much, but I think it's pretty impressive I know that.

I think if we met we would get along and have fun!

Currently finishing my BA thesis in cultural analysis but I convinced them to let me write a queer, sci-fi musical lol <3

PHILOSOPHY

I believe, ultimately, everyone is always trying their best. And yet in that attempt, there is failure. Life is failure. It’s just one big, long list of consequences that we are continuously trying to rectify or atone for. But it’s in the abyss between failure and success where greatness lies. Thats why we have to keep trying.

Kindness and generosity are two of the most important characteristics to have, especially if you want to be a happy person, I believe.

I've been told I am incredibly transparent and often volunteer to be in vulnerable situations... But I think that is why people like me :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When it's good, its the best! When it's bad, it's a little uncomfortable. A chance I'm willing to take!

Interests

I think I'm an introvert but my friends think I'm an extrovert... Probably why I like to stay home and read but also like to go out and meet people. I generally love strangers!

  • traveling
  • socializing
  • music
  • tourism
  • volunteering
  • tours

Music, Movies, and Books

I will just list one of my all time faves of each to give some kind of insight:

Book: Picture of Dorian Gray
Music: Stereolab
Movie: Public Speaking (Fran Lebowitz doc.)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have booked my band tours across Canada, United States and UK/France and written like 10 albums lol

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to write a song! <3

What I Can Share with Hosts

I try to be a good person, and I'm told I'm funny and kind. It feels weird to be like "I rule, this is why you should like me"... I guess it seems a bit inauthentic? I am very adaptable and get along with all kinds of different people. I think we could have some really good conversations. And I could teach you how to make the best cheesecake.
