Why I’m on Couchsurfing

i’ve used couchsurfing in the past for travel. returning here to meet people while on new adventures.

Interests

part time philosopher, full time over thinker. i'm the kind of person who will fix your wi-fi (or computer or the wobbly table) and explain why time is a social construct, all before breakfast. i love a good laugh, especially the kind that comes after a terrible pun.

whether deep conversation or ridiculous memes, i'm here for it. up for challenge in a game of wit or recommending a book that will blow my mind. love to meet new people, especially fellow creatives.
