About Me

Hey! Im currently traveling around Europe. Its my first time to the continent and I kinda decided that I wanted to see it in a different way. Ive been volunteering and helping out where I can (Italy, Morocco, Portugal) and its a great way to get a local feel for a place and also make some meaningful connections with people...rather than simply going to a fancy hotel.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My main reason for being on couchsurfing is to connect with as many local people as possible when I travel around Europe. I dont have a solid plan yet, so Im not sure where I will end up. Couchsurfing has been recommended to me by a lot of friends and theyve told me about the great experiences theyve had.

Interests

Sky diving. Ive done it 5 times and plan to do it a lot more. I'm a very outdoors person and on occasion i can be a bit of an adrenaline chaser.

I love to hike, and run long distance and this travel has allowed me to do that in some pretty awesome landscapes.

I am also I big triathlete! I love working out whether it is running, cycling or swimming!

Music, Movies, and Books

Big fan of picture books but also don't mind adventure and running stories.

Love comedy movies.... funny comedy movies. I pretty much like most things.. its pretty easy to entertain me and i certainly wouldnt claim to be too serious of a person.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Just through my travels so far... I have hitchhiked throughout southern Morocco and slept under the sky of the Sahara desert, jumped into the glacier lagoon in Iceland and managed to have to get emergency rescued in a freak blizzard in the mountains. Bungee jumped in Switzerland off the third highest in the world and am looking for some new things to add to the list!

Teach, Learn, Share

I wanna cook... im not gonna pretend i can... I am very gifted at buying the ingredients you tell me too and am very clean, you wouldnt even know Im there.

I am really happy to share my language with everyone and i know in Europe this can be important.

Wherever I go I want to learn new things from all around.
