‘She had been an impossible creature: a wild child, an unfathomable puzzle of a girl; a young woman who refused to be tamed and who eventually, when she had wreaked more havoc than any family could reasonably be expected to bear, had simply flounced off into the sunset.’
The prologue of The Surreal Life of Leonora Carrington by Joanna Moorhead starts with these words.
The part of me wishes, this quote was about me. The other part fears that it is actually about me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To make my journeys more memorable and beautiful.
To overcome the introvert fear of talking to strangers.
To see how people live their lives in places where I'm just a tourist.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been living abroad. After six months of being away from home, I've decided to visit my family, but I haven't told them that I'm coming. They loved the surprise.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Share a conversation or something captivating to read over the breakfast table. It's definitely my favourite part of the day that makes me get up super early, just to go and get some fresh bread from the closest bakery. I know the most delicious breakfast recipes, and I never forget about the coffee!
