Hello,
I enjoy meeting new folks and helping out those travellers who are on a budget by offering a couch. Hoping some kind souls would do the same for me on my travels.
Although I look young I am old enough to respect certain things: cleanliness, respect for other people's property, politeness. I do also respect interesting things, having fun and staying up late playing music. I think all these things can co-exist!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love speaking to people, making friends and meeting people from all corners of the world.
I have slept on the floors of friends, but this Couchsurfing business is quite new to me. I really like the idea of hosting and meeting interesting people from different countries. I work in social care, a notoriously underpaid sector, so when I travel, budget is always an issue. Thus, Couchsurfing is a great way to cut costs whilst meeting awesome locals.

Music, Movies, and Books

Yes please! I love singing and playing the piano, and try to play bass & guitar. I make some music and also go listen to better music all the time at gigs and festivals. I enjoy the heavier side of music but anything innovative and exciting gets my vote. Last gigs I've thoroughly loved: Oranssi Pazuzu/Aluk Todolo in Berlin, Huoratron at Ilosaari festival, Kairon;IRSE! at Sideways festival & Bar Loose in Helsinki.
I love the books of JS Foer, Miranda July and poetry by Rekola & Ahmatova. I write poetry and try to perform it at poetry jams sometimes.
My favourite films are usually slightly leftfield, sometimes bleak, drama/comedies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I kissed Buck65 in 2004. At the time, that was a big deal to me...I loved his music y'know.

Teach, Learn, Share

I play the piano, I am fluent in at least two languages, I am good at giving advice although I myself rarely follow any.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am good at listening - as a mental health/social care/social work professional that is a fairly important trait to have I guess. I have good interpersonal skills I would say. And excellent taste in music!
