About Me

ABOUT ME

Currently studying at University of Edinburgh for my studies. I'll be studying there to become a teacher, hoping to do TEFL. No country in mind yet. It's a career that allows you to teach all over and really get to know a culture, I want to learn from my students as well as teach them. This leads me to my other passion, languages. I think a language is the way into a heart of a culture and I just love every aspect of it. I love literature, in all of it's forms and dissecting each one. I love being lost and wander, just wandering around until you don't have a clue, then just taking it all in. Lastly, I love traveling (of course!), by traveling and truly getting to know other cultures you better yourself and the world, by spreading your knowledge.

PHILOSOPHY

Life isn't about the destination but the journey you go through, so make that journey as exciting as it can be.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now hosting is a bit difficult but when the opportunity arises, my couch is all yours. So currently I use couchsurfing for surfing and going to CS meet-ups.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfed in Budapest and it was great experience. I'm eager to try it again!

Music, Movies, and Books

So many. I'm always open to suggestions for films, books or movies. They are all pretty great and I appreciate them from all genres.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Experiencing true happiness. On a practical side, I just got finished from a six-week backpacking trip with a friend that was incredible.
