About Me

Hello my name is Brooks. I am on a bit of a pilgrimage across Europe and through life. Many people feel the need to plan life, but i prefer only to plan not to have a plan. Im a big believer in giving the universe the reigns and trusting it to give me an interesting ride. I've spent almost a year taking so far anas have loved every second of it! As amazing and beautiful as the world is, I've learned it's friendly the people that you meet that makes all the difference in this world. I've met so many amazing people from around the world that I'm afraid the world now holds my heart. I don't know where i'll end up but I'm afraid going back home to a "normal" life just won't be in the cards.. but o guess we'll see! For now i want to continue traveling and try to do more couch surfing. I prefer getting to mer locals and learn about their culture. I believe everyone you'll ever meet has something to teach you, it's just a matter of opening your heart to see what it is!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meet people, learn about their culture, try to see the world through their eyes

Interests

I generally love a bit of everything and love to think of myself like an onion, lots of layers! Tastes good, and could make you cry.. from joy of course.. or lol if you cut me.

Music, Movies, and Books

Could list many but Celestine Prophecy is the one that influenced my life the most. A friend in Scotland gifted me The Alchemist.. i think it was written about me..

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once lived on water alone for 21 days!

I walked almost 400 km through the mountains of spain on the Camino De Santiago

Teach, Learn, Share

While im not exactly an expert in any one thing, i know a little about a lot. I wanted to study philosophy at uni, but as the degree is fairly useless i decided to major in psychology and business. But mostly i love and understand people. I enjoy cooking, i could teach you some things, but am always looking to accept new tricks as well. A good meal, a nice drink, and some excellent conversation will go a long way. Throw in a bit of dancing or maybe a midnight swim and give for yourself some unforgettable memories!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can help clean, cook, talk, or just stay quiet and out of your way.. i even installed wood flooring in my first host's bathroom
