About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Kickass in London and Denmark!

ABOUT ME

Hello, I'm Heaven! I'm not quite sure what to write about myself. I am a mammal; I am a child of the universe! Here are some of my favourite words: somnambulism, bioluminesence, sonder, I, Yugen (Japanese, meaning "profound awareness of the universe which evokes feelings that are inexplicably deep and too mysterious for words")

I love to read and write, knit, sew, paint, photograph, laugh, sing, play guitar, explore, travel, create. I can be "as changeable as the weather" (to be cliche). My friends say that I don't like bullshit (to be honest).

I make music, which you can listen to here:

PHILOSOPHY

Be good, have fun, work hard, stay humble. Help ever, hurt never. Say hello to the people you meet and hold on to your memories.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I participate in couchsurfing by having conversations with other hosts, travelers, and surfers, and by staying positive and open minded.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was raised by a travelling musician and have lifelong memories of sleeping under kitchen tables, in empty closets, in arm chairs, on front lawns; I sleep wherever I rest my head. Travelling musicians and like-minded people have always been welcome in our home, and I have connected with some of my closest friends through couchsurfing.
