Overview
About Me
Caring, energetic, fun and a tiny bit shy. Presumably a bit awkward (the nice way though). I work as a bookbinder and I collect other people's passions.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
For me, it is the perfect way to discover a place: with the people who live in it (alongside Workaway/Wwoofing). Every other type of travelling seems boring now.
So far, I have fallen in love with everyone that I've met.

Interests
All sorts of arts, with a slight obsession for dance, cinema, installations, performance and diaries. Owner of a mirror ball and several garlands. Also, I love good (vegetarian) food and meditation.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Lived in the Highlands for 2 months: life-changing.
Also learnt to ring the church bells in Yorkshire, because why not?
I was able to experience the wonders of ice skating on a frozen lake in the middle of a Stockholm forest. Just made me feel like I was flying.
Teach, Learn, Share
I make notebooks, pompons, and great cakes.
Also, I love writing/receiving letters!
