About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I wish to leave one thing on this earth that will allow people to remember me.

ABOUT ME

I am a quiet, sometimes shy person despite my love for traveling. I think I find myself most passionate about the arts (whether it be bad films or brilliant poetry) and conversing with friends about concepts so deeply meaning can sometime become lost!

PHILOSOPHY

Find your one passion in life and go for it. What else could be more important?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Looking to meet others willing to experience a city together or simply meet for a conversation.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Completely new to CouchSurfing. I'm hoping it'll help me meet people during my travels.

Interests

I love traveling although at times it can become incredible lonely, hence CouchSurfing. I also enjoy a lot of different kinds of music. I love folk and many of the grunge artists of the 90s. Also a huge movie buff. Especially when it comes to quirky and odd independent films, although my favorite genre would have to be french horror. I also write and love to read. One of my favorite hobbies is to browse a used bookstore and purchase and read old books by authors i never heard of.
