Full time nomad as of September 2020 — I sold my house, donated/sold 95% of my belongings, and hit the road with my pup!

In 2023, I spent most of the year in Mexico.
In 2024, Oceania, Asia and Africa.
In 2025 — Africa, Asia, Europe and the Middle East!

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I'm 7 years into Couchsurfing and I've met some amazing people and have had amazing experiences that would otherwise have not been possible. Plus, connections make the world go round ;)

If you’ve met me in person feel free to friend request me on CS (I’m only accepting people I’ve met as friends to keep the bots away) if not we can connect elsewhere, I’m on instagram as @juliebrose or my website juliedevivre.com ☺️

If you want to send me a message, include the word coconut so I know you read my profile.
