Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Get to know new people, learn about what inspires them, share deep conversations, practice new languages, cook and eat together.

To experience we have more in common as humans than we are different, to further grow that trust in human kindness.

Also to travel the world and see places from an authentic (rather than super touristy) perspective, whilst being on a budget :)

I would love to explore South East Asia, Carribean, Central America and Colombia.

Also, I know how to teach dance and yoga!
