CURRENT MISSION

to experience more!

ABOUT ME

I'm creative, friendly and can be a bit shy at times. I like riding my bike around the city, visiting galleries and flea markets and thrift shops. I love movies and going to pubs and enjoying a beer on a sunny patio. I'm always taking photos of what I'm eating, interesting typography and old buildings. I like to pick up discarded scraps of paper on the street...you never know what gems you'll find!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love traveling, cycle touring and taking road trips and I'm usually doing it on a budget. Couch surfing is a way we can help each other out while while experiencing the world. Travelers are so open and adventurous and I love to share in their enthusiasm and hear their stories!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We've hosted 4 different couchsurfers (so far) from this site and would love to host more as long as they are friendly, considerate and interesting! I've also couchsurfed recently throughout Europe and loved each and every experience. Couchsurfing is wonderful.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love cooking and food so I can make you dinner or bake you some muffins for breakfast. Cornelius is handy with bikes as he built up his own from scratch (a lovely Surly LHT made for touring).
