About Me

I'm a nature loving human who loves being in the outdoors. I enjoy meeting new people, and learning about different cultures and perspectives on life, trying new adventures and challenging myself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I travel, I like to go away from the place I've been to knowing a bit more about the local culture, people and language. I like meeting new people and building connections from all around the world, breaking down cultural barriers. I like the philosophy of sharing, giving and bridging cultures on Couchsurfing. Also, I want to explore the idea of decreasing my reliance on the capitalist and monetary systems.

Interests

Hiking, frisbee, gardening, juggling, yoga, climbing, environmental issues, minimalist lifestyles, permaculture, reading, music, festivals (by volunteering), being outdoors, travelling, hitch-hiking :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent 5 months walking the length of New Zealand (Aotearoa), close to 3000km.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to bake sourdough bread.
I'm happy to help you out in the garden if I stay with you.
I can teach you how to juggle up to four balls. (Well, I can give you a first lesson. You will need to practice lots!!)
I enjoy learning new languages and I try to learn at least a few words of the local language when I travel. :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I enjoy cooking vegetarian food and can contribute to shared meals. I can share my experiences and provide a good listening ear for you to share your experiences with me.
