About Me

Quirky or maybe "quirky". Overthinker, undereater, vegan, activist and socialist, non-binary (they).

Restless devourer of pop culture d ceaseless teller of puns (or should I say, cis-less teller of puns?)

My secret skill is making American pancakes. They're pretty bomb.

Still relatively new on couchsurfing, but I've been around a couple of blocks.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I'm secretly a robot on a mission to explore what "being social" and "meeting people" means.

So many books. But, becaus I'm a nerd, nerdy books.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once almost dropped my phone, then I caught it, but not quite, and for, like, a whole minute I was bouncing it on my hands, not quite catching it, but not quite letting it fall.

Then I caught it decisively. This was a sublime moment.

Teach, Learn, Share

Having a good time? Vegan cooking.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Swedish language, fun facts like this one: it takes less than a second for a person to look at someone's face and make a snap judgement about they're character. And we're quite accurate!

Countries I’ve Lived In

Ireland, Scotland, Sweden
