ABOUT ME

A landerwust girl. But to ask, all about me? We can talk it over ice cream :)

PHILOSOPHY

You have the power to change your life, slowly but surely.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I couchsurfed a couple of times while I was studying abroad in Germany

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had an amazing time for the most part! It's amazing that some people are so giving and willing to open their home to strangers.

Interests

I love trying new things, I love all kinds of music ranging from indie rock to electronic/dance to jazz and classical. I love food like a soulmate, sometimes (most times?) my travels are actually dictated by food. I love to travel but I prefer doing it with friends rather than alone, otherwise it gets too lonely. Good thing meeting new people and making friends that way is pretty easy. I love learning about their backgrounds and stories. I enjoy dabbling in creative writing but I don't think I will ever eke out a career in it. I love to cook and bake and to be adventurous with food. Ask me about my work as a food photographer and I will talk your ear off :P.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ask me in person :)

Teach, Learn, Share

-Stealing this from an interview I read earlier today: follow your heart and trust in it, your path will reveal itself to you.
-Focusing your energies on what you want will bring you closer to it
-Think about the last time you tried something new, was it too long ago?
