PHILOSOPHY

Life isn't about making yourself, it's about creating yourself. It's meeting new people, trying new things, not being afraid to be you.

"All that is gold does not glitter; not all those who wander are lost; the old that is strong does not wither; deep roots are not reached by the frost."
-J. R. R. Tolkien

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people and making new friends around the world. I just want to learn, discover, explore and grow with people who love life and all that it has to offer.

I am pretty easy going so if you're the kind of person who wants to show me your city or stay up late at night and talk about traveling adventures whilst sipping tea - feel free to do just that! If you prefer I do my own thing and keep appearances minimal, I'm fine with that as well. Whatever floats your boat.

P.S. I love to cook and it would be an honor to learn a recipe of yours or a new one together!

Interests

Anything to do with art, food and music. I love photography. I'm pretty sure I can out-eat you and then after that dance it off at a concert.

I enjoy thrill-seeking activities as much as having a simple picnic in the park.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Standing on top of a 2,000 meter high mountain covered in snow and surrounded by more climbing higher into the sky. It was breathtaking. Absolutely breathtaking. I felt so small and minuscule compared to the nature surrounding me. I felt free and uninhibited; as if nothing could stop me. I felt free from the world and free from myself. It was the most "alive" I have ever felt in my twenty-five years of living.
