CURRENT MISSION

To learn about the world through interaction.

ABOUT ME

I’m a curious mix of introvert and extrovert. I find joy in sharing experiences and stories with people because that this how you get to know a person as well as grow. Mindfulness and conscious living are the foundations of my life because our actions not only affect us but also the people and the natural environment around us. I also believe in synchronicity, the law of attraction and that we have the power to shape the world we live in.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on CS because I believe in community living and I have shared living spaces my entire adulthood. Sometimes it has been with my cousins and sometimes with complete strangers who have turned out to be friends to this day.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have had the chance to host and be hosted as well as interact with a lot of surfers, both local and from around the world. My experience has been overall positive and I am grateful for all the people who have come into my life through couch surfing.

Interests

When at home, I like to share conversations to catch up about the day or perhaps play some games. I also like to hangout in my room, mostly editing photographs and painting. I like cooking and sharing meals together when possible and generally I’m a tidy person (but not obsessive). I clean my dishes and pick up after myself and sometimes for others as long as there is reciprocation.

When it comes to my outdoor life, I quite enjoy being in nature, whether It is through hiking, taking walks, cycling or camping. I find that it is very nourishing to be immersed in the sounds of the wind in the grass and trees and in the touch of the soil and leaves. I enjoy listening to birds and observing insects. Sometimes I will do this with my partner, family or friends and sometimes it is by myself.

I also enjoy attending creative events like popup markets, festivals and exhibitions. I am a photographer so sometimes I will have my camera and photograph things I find interesting.
