Overview
About Me
I’m so excited to be back on Couchsurfing — it’s been almost 10 years since my last adventure here! I’m an actress and run a vacation rental business.
I’ve lived in five countries and absolutely love meeting new people and sharing stories. I’m passionate about meditation, yoga, and meaningful conversations. Last year, I even gave a TEDx talk about my experience living in a Buddhist temple — let me know if you’d like the link, I’m always happy to share!
Looking forward to connecting with some amazing souls here ✨
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I’m on Couchsurfing because I believe the most beautiful parts of travel aren’t just the places — they’re the people. I’ve stayed in temples, climbed volcanoes, and crossed continents, but it’s the unexpected friendships and deep, soulful conversations that stay with me the longest. I’m here to share stories, connect with open-hearted humans, and keep the spirit of generosity and adventure alive.

Music, Movies, and Books
Music:
My taste in music is all over the map — from Country to Rock & Roll, I love it all! Lately, I’ve been enjoying classical music, especially when I’m driving. There’s something about it that makes the road feel a little more magical.
Movies:
I’m drawn to films based on true stories — there's just something powerful about real-life moments on screen. My favorite genres are suspense thrillers, romantic comedies, and heartfelt dramas.
Books:
I’m a big fan of self-help and psychology books, and I love diving into inspiring biographies. Anything that helps me grow, reflect, or better understand the human experience is a win.
