About Me

ABOUT ME

I am a traveller at heart who can't live without adventures and new experiences. An aspiring silversmith and an artist. Open-minded, curious, kind hearted.

Right now I’m traveling with my boyfriend Bryan. He’s a freelance screenwriter and filmmaker. Enjoys coffee and conversations. Wants to make a short film about everything 😂

PHILOSOPHY

We are as one and one is all we are.

Never give up

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I started my experience as a surfer in 2011, got really excited about the idea, then started hosting people. Right now, I can't host, but I'm looking forward to the moment when I have my own place where I can have guests.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

All the people I met via couchsurfing were great, we had deep conversations, went for walks, had dinners, listened to music, partied and even made honey!
