About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To travel as much as I possibly can and to do it with someone I love. I adore sight-seeing, visiting museums and art galleries, taking photos of scenery, checking out local restaurants and bars, going to concerts, and just hanging around!

Apologies for my lack of references and such, I don't use the app much cuz I work a lot or have been staying at hostels! I'm always happy to Skype if that makes you feel more comfortable with letting me stay with you 😊

ABOUT ME

I'm a pretty typical person; I am quite heavily into music and art. I play guitar and flute, and I sing. I also draw and take photos when I have time to.

I'm also a workaholic, so apologies if you don't meet me when you surf at my place 😅

PHILOSOPHY

Live in the moment, to do otherwise is just wasting what little time you have on this planet.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My belief is couch surfing is supposed to be a way for low-income travellers to be able to explore the world and have a safe place to stay without having to worry about exorbitant hotel/hostel prices.

I'm not fond of the current CS mentality where a lot of hosts expect their surfers to spend time with them. My doors are open so long as you respect my home. Of course meeting new people from around the world is also part of the vision, but I've noticed a lot of hosts feel entitled to your time instead of just being glad that they're able to help a fellow traveller out.

I climbed to the top of a small mountain in Florø, Norway and visited some gorgeous ruins in Bopfingen, Germany! The view from both places were absolutely breathtaking :)

Teach, Learn, Share

Always do your research about the town/country you're going to. Also if you're couch surfing, make sure the person you're staying with is reliable and trustworthy. I may just be slightly paranoid, but I find it's always better to be safe than sorry.
