I am a friendly and laid back individual, and I strive to live intentionally. Authenticity is important to me and talking to people to hear their stories is what I have found most enriches my travels.

I don't drink or smoke and I prefer quieter gatherings, but also enjoy some city bustle, and going out to explore nature, museums, galleries and eat! Food brings people together and I love sharing meals with others. I like to be active, can’t help but wake up early, I eat healthily, like to learn new things and read books, love animals, horses especially, and love a good tea or coffee.

I am a creative and have been teaching ESL abroad for the last five years, in the middle of a career change and taking the year to explore cities and meet new people to gain different perspectives.

I love chatting to people but also need my own quiet time, balance is key in everything I believe.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
