About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To travel the whole of West Coast United States and land in Miami, before going to Cayman Islands for a visit!

ABOUT ME

I love to travel, and I'd be an attentive listener to anyone who talks about their own travels!

I love music, and the awesomest music festival I've been to is Coachella 2013, where I couchsurfed and made a lot of new friends! It was a real treat and I'd like to do it again!

I love spontaneity, meeting new people by random chance, like I did when I landed in LAX one day and hitched a ride from two awesome guys (now my friends) to Coachella, thereafter ending up camping with them for Coachella.

I love writing for my own pleasure, and I enjoy a good poem from time to time.

I do a little bit of photography in my free time, and hopefully I will be a travel journalist in future.

Music is my drug, and I am open to all sorts of genres but I definitely love indie music the best.

I love fashion, especially the eclectic kind!

PHILOSOPHY

Carpe Diem - Dead Poet's Society
Travel widely, see the world, enjoy the sights, know the people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have lived for four days in a home in Yellowknife, NWT and it was an amazing experience to live with locals. I have also couchsurfed with a couple in Bechoko (a first nation village in NWT) which was also a fantastic experience!

I have also camped together with CSers at Coachella 2013 at the mega CS campsite and had loads of fun going to different stages to catch different acts; at the same time learning more about each other and widening my music appreciation!

Recently, I couchsurfed with Todd and Michael in Tampa, FL; it was a really wonderful time spent with them. I learnt a new game called Greed (which I assure you is a lot of fun, so if I ever meet you, remember to ask me about this dice game!), and they were very accommodating to me. If only the world was filled with people like Todd and Michael!
