About Me

Currently living in Belgium 🇧🇪 for my Masters!!!

I have a sentimental love for travel, always getting attached to the places I visit and the people I meet. I cherish every moment and often find myself wishing it would never end. Haha! The hardest part of each trip, in my opinion, is the day after I return home — back to my country, my reality, and the grind of work. But I guess that’s the beauty of it, right? The excitement of waiting for the next adventure. That’s why I’m a big fan of impulsively booking flights, especially if there’s a sale!

I love chatting about all sorts of things, so don’t be surprised if I ask about your zodiac sign right off the bat — it’s one of my interests and makes for a great icebreaker! I enjoy meeting new people, hearing their stories, and diving into different cultures. My passions include film, food, and cultural exchange.

I’ve been lucky enough to explore several countries, mostly in Southeast Asia, and I’ve recently checked the last one off my list, which I’m incredibly grateful for! What makes it even more meaningful are the friendships I’ve formed with locals in each place. These connections are ones I’ll treasure forever, and they’ll definitely be a big reason I’ll return to these amazing countries!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’d say it’s all about making the most out of life — connecting with people from all over the world and hearing their unique stories. My goal is simple: to meet new people, form friendships, and build a network of global connections. Ideally, I want to leave each country with at least one friend!

Teach, Learn, Share

I’m a freelance video editor, so I’d be happy to share tips on editing or using efficient editing software!

I’m also a bit of a computer geek & pirate, so if you tell me which games (or even movies) you’re into, I can hook you up with the full versions, haha!

I absolutely love listening to people share their experiences, and I’m always happy to pass along whatever knowledge I have. The Couchsurfing community is so special to me because it connects people from all over the world through the art of travel.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My listening ears — I love hearing people’s stories!
My talkative side — I’m the perfect mix of a good listener and a chatty companion, haha! I’m generally bubbly, friendly, and always up for anything.

I’d be more than happy to share everything I know about my country and my life experiences!
