About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To travel. To meet people. To live as best I can.

ABOUT ME

My husband and I are taking a year off work to learn how to be parents to our amazing little boy Andreas! (He’s 10 months old) This is our most rewarding adventure so far.

At the moment we’re cycling around Taiwan, South Korea and Japan, and having the greatest time introducing Andreas to different cultures, and making new friends as we go.

PHILOSOPHY

"In the time of your life, live!" (Saroyan)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I try to host and surf as much as I can.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfing, hosting, just generally meeting up. I've even ended up living with a few couchsurfers. All my couchsurfing experiences have been amazing. For me it's the best way to travel.

Interests

The usual - food, books, movies, music! What I like really depends on my mood in any given moment. When I'm down I love to start planning my next trip, it cheers me up instantly. I love experiencing new things and taking spur of the moment trips.
