I am 32 years old and living and working in Berlin after travelling Europe in 2023 on a working holiday visa. I'm privileged enough to work remotely from time to time, so when I get the chance I like to pick somewhere new to visit and explore at a slower pace!

I am curious and open minded and want to live as a local. I hope to meet new people, and hear new ideas and ways of living and being.

I have always wanted to travel and live overseas, but over the past 10 years I prioritised studying and a career. The COVID-19 pandemic taught me a lot of what happens in our life is out of our control, we never know what might come next. So with this in mind, I have decided to explore my passion for travel.

Currently I'm working in customer support but in the past I have worked in mediation, law, tourism, and garden labour =P

When I relax I like to cook or bake (I like to make sourdough bread), listen to music (discovering new music is a favourite activity), and read books. I also enjoy being active and I like swimming, running, and hiking. Being in nature makes me happy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm couchsurfing so I can get the chance to see some great towns and meet some amazing locals!

Interests

I'm no athlete but I love getting out in nature whether it's hiking, running, walking, swimming. Catching a sunrise (rare!) or a sunset is a simple pleasure.

When I need to relax more you'll find me reading, or getting stuck into my Spotify discover playlist.
