I grew up traveling and I love exploring new places, cultures, and people. I’m a huge nature lover, scientist, artist, and interested in a little bit of everything. I’m a little shy at first, but I’ll warm up as you talk to me. Most of my friends describe me as some kind of faery/elf/celtic goddess, if that gives you any idea.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Make new friends all over the world! Experience the real place. And when I have my own place, I hope to pay forward the generosity of my hosts.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I made my own harp! And I’m traveling with it, which is a feat. 😅

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to learn about local flora and fauna! My last job was teaching nature science.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I play harp and ocarina and I’m always happy to share music and swap stories. If I’m staying for a few days, I’d be down to cook together and/or help out with chores or kids if you have them.
