About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To see who in the world I might be.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As a host, it's great to encounter new people and cultures in my own home!

Interests

I'm passionate about many things - languages, literature, travelling, music, history - and try to stretch myself in all kinds of directions in order to keep finding out more about the world. I'm also into volunteering, and have done workcamps and WWOOFed several times in different countries.
