Hi there! I am an experiencer of life and a lover of nature. Obsessed with moss, flowers, mountains, trees, animals, and the greenest of greens.

I was just in Ireland and Scotland on a Celtic pilgrimage from June 2023 to write my first book and hike for 10 months!

I live in South Fremantle, Western Australia which is a certain kind of heaven and was born in Belgrade, Serbia.

I have lived in Canada (three times), the US (New York, because of my childhood obsession with Home Alone 2 and in New Mexico in an intentional community) and have had several solo travel trips to Europe, Japan, and nearly moved to Ubud, Indonesia (been there 6 times).

The kindness and generosity in the Couchsurfing community continually astound me. I highly value friendship in all forms!

I've been lucky enough to be hosted by so many kind people around the world (with epic stories) and I love being able to return the favour to a fellow travelling soul. I am more proud of my Couchsurfing profile than my resume and social media accounts combined, for real.

I love music, tea ceremony, nature, meditation, eating well, riding my bike, dancing, farmers markets, yoga, hiking, reading, conversations, cooking, jumping in the ocean and feeling alive, and the magic of travel.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Basically, strangers rock. I have a huge belief in humanity.

I value friendship, generosity, and connection. There was a time when we all helped each other, and that time is also now.

Leaving your life behind for the great unknown is one of the scariest things we can do. But hands down the best thing I have ever done for myself!
