⚠️💬 Some disclaimers 📝
📅 Last minute requests preferred 🕥 I’m very spontaneous and don’t usually know where I’ll be/what I’ll be doing very far in advance so if you write me on same day or the day-before that’s totally cool ✌️
👥I use CouchSurfing to meet/exchange with travellers and like minded people, **not as a dating app** Please don’t come or accept me as a guest expecting that kind of energy 🕊️🙏
📜If you have no references, know that I’ve stayed with/hosted people without references in the past but **only because they took the time to write something genuine on their profile/message so that I could get some kind of an idea of their personality/vibe**. So if your profile is half-completed, take some time to write something that conveys who you are/ your vibes 😅🐒
🔂🧑‍💻If you want to leave me a reference, please don’t use ChatGPT or some other LLM/AI to do so. It’s okay if English isn’t your first language-but I 100% prefer reading whatever you have to say—spelling, grammar and punctuation errors included—than some AI generated text.

About me 🌱🌳
- Travelled all the way from Croatia to Bali in 2024/2025 trying to live and move like a local as much as realistically possible. I was really taken aback by the incredible hospitality and generosity that was shown to me and the lengths people went to make me feel welcome and their willingness to share their lives with me and this is something I hope to "give-back" through couchsurfing.
- Ran 10+ marathons all over Scotland with my Dad and got to experience some of the country’s most breathtaking scenery 🏔️💨
- Practiced yoga for 10+ years and have attended classes in about 15 countries given by somewhere around 300 teachers 🕉️🪷With every year that passes I think yoga takes up an increasingly important chunk of my life and one day I hope to have the chance to share yoga with others in a meaningful way.
- I grew up in Africa and have lived in 5 countries. I pretty much live off of coffee and Nutella and hardly ever eat real food 🙊😬I love nature and animals 🐶.. travelling this last year I’ve come to realise that animal culture is a real thing and varies from place to place as much as human culture does.. (has anyone else observed this? if so, i’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences).

My current mission 🌟
I’m just coming back to “normal life” after travelling for a long time. I'd like to find a way to travel and live nomadically in more of a full-time way. I’ll be based in Marseille until the end of the summer 🌊☀️

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Genuinely love sharing and making connections with people, and CouchSurfing is such an amazing app for bringing people together. I think at some point I realised that what I loved most about travelling was how it facilitates interactions with people from all different life paths.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I thought I saw the aurora borealis once, until it turned out that was just a festival nearby projecting on to the sky.. still that was pretty extraordinary. Not sure what else really, living in the womb for 9 months then being born must have been quite the adventure. Then again, I don't really remember any of that.

One summer I did work experience with a 'big-game vet' in the South African bush. The highlight of this experience was tracking a rhinoceros by helicopter which we had to dart to administer some treatment.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love meeting, hosting and staying with people and the cultural exchange that comes with it. I regularly take part in couchsurfing events in my city (this can be anything from weekly CSing meet-ups to cinema club events to hiking events to events on a particular theme like meeting, hosting and staying with people).

What I Can Share with Hosts

For people that use couchsurfing a lot, I think it tends to leave its mark on people and there's a certain kind of dynamic or archetype that a lot of the more experienced CSers have. So whether you're coming to stay with me or I'm going to stay at your place, there's this point of familiarity that we can expect from belonging to the same community and having a shared experience.

I'd love to share your company. To cook a tasty and wholesome salad or rice dish for you. And whether I'm your guest or your host, to adapt according to your wavelength and energy levels and to give space or spend time together accordingly
