🚫 Please note: I'm not able to host right now! My rental contract charges me for overnight guests, so I can't accept any stay requests. I'm still happy to meet up for a coffee, a walk, or other hangout! ☕🌅 Hi, I'm Sami! 🤩 I work as a graphic designer as well as an English teacher. I love photography, ecology 🌿, experimenting with creativity, reading, live music, and reimagining society. These days, I'm more into peaceful moments – hanging out in nature, catching a sunset, or relaxing at a cafe – than wild parties. If any of that sounds like your vibe, I'd love to connect and explore with you! 👀 I'm living in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria at the moment and hope to open up my "couch" again someday!
