CURRENT MISSION

Take my protein pills and put my helmet on

ABOUT ME

I'm a 22 year old, at the moment travelling through Europe for six months on my own. I'm energetic, pasisonate, open, hopefully intelligent, sometimes restless, occasionally stubborn but an otherwise relatively likeable human being. I write in as many forms as possible - at the moment for a comedy show which I also act in, and also stories, (mediocre) poetry, scripts etc. To add to the tiny amount of money that brings in, I also work in my favourite bar in the world.

My favourite things to do are to watch live music, spend time with friends and go out and have fun, as well as have long dinners with lively conversation. I also love to dance, look at art, people watch, walk the streets and hear what people think about things. And watch movies with Zooey Deschanel in them, even though most are rubbish.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to avoid locking one down

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want to dig everything. People, places, couches. I'm a sucker for learning things and I want to be able to do as much as possible, and I bring a lot of enthusiasm with me. When I'm back home I'll surf as many people who want to stay.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm new to the game but love the concept and am looking forward to enjoying it, both as a host and a guest.
