About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To have a great time interrailing over the next month and hopefully make friends and acquaintances from all over Europe to last me my entire life.

ABOUT ME

I love to read and think about the world and to learn new things. I consider myself to be an undecided person in many ways, including but not limited to my ideas of politics, ethics, religion, and general values, but I hope travelling is one of those experiences which can help me understand more about myself and others. I am confident in myself and passionate about my beliefs (but they are not set in stone). I like to listen and to talk, which I think makes me a normal and friendly person capable of having both serious and decidedly stupid experiences with people.

PHILOSOPHY

I haven't decided yet. If pushed I would call myself a humanitarian and a socialist. I would like to sort things out in the world and I'm working on it atm.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At the moment only as a traveller and a potential guide to some areas, but I hope to return the favour of accommodation one day when I own my own home and can support others.

Reading, writing and hard(ish) sums are all things I feel I could help people to understand and do more effectively. I am learning French and any help is more than welcome.
