CURRENT MISSION

About to embark on a road trip around California. Starting in LA and heading to SF, SD, LV and anywhere in between. Hoping to Couch Surf *all* the way to meet some great people, have some great experiences and maybe learn how to surf a *real* wave too! :)

ABOUT ME

I can't do the "5 words that describe your character" thing, sorry. Never been able to.

PHILOSOPHY

Spontaneity, imagination, passion and, most importantly, an open mind.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My Couch Surfing experience has mainly been at friends places around the world. I went to an International school so most of my friends from back then ended up scattered around the globe.

I have also been European-Train-Station-Floor surfing which, while also being a great experience and lots of fun, is far worse for your back.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Backpacking through Europe when I was 18.Went on a month long trip after 2 days of prep. Had nothing planned out apart from an inter-rail ticket. Took the boat across to France and winged-it from there. Best experience of my life made even better by not going during the height of the tourist season.
