CURRENT MISSION

Explore the world, one couch at a time.

ABOUT ME

I enjoy seeing new places, meeting new people and also spending time in places that feel like home and with people who know me inside out. I like good music, good films, good books, and good conversations. If I could be anywhere it would usually be up in the mountains with some good friends.
