I'm studying to be a writer. It's not a job I can exactly apply for so when I graduate, I will travel and pick up jobs here and there abroad until I can sell my work. Until then, I'm travelling in my free time (usually between june-october). Now, I'm doing an Erasmus year in Bulgaria (Veliko Tarnovo) and I'm trying to travel around the neighbouring countries throughout the academic year :)

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I'm on couchsurfing to be part of the travel community and meet locals everywhere I go. It's a great way to get an insight into a town or place that just isn't possible in hostels or hotels.
Music, Movies, and Books
Game of thrones, inception, in Bruges, Rick and Morty, ex machina Fantasy books and mindfuck films.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
I Cycled death road in Bolivia! I did a bungee jump in Thailand (a few days after having the Thai trots...) I took Ayahuasca in the Peruvian Amazon with a native shaman. I slept in a hammock in the jungle surrounding Tikal, an ancient Maya ruin in Guatemala. I got bit by a monkey in Cambodia.
What I Can Share With Hosts
A good travel related conversation :) and an opportunity to hear one of the worst accents in England.
