About Me

27YO female, I travel as much as i can to continue to challenge myself and learn as much as i can about other cultures, and different world and life perspectives.
"You are a product of your environment" so why not change it and become your own product, take the best out of each environment you experience.
I am outgoing and eager to try anything life can throw at me!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe couchsurfing is a great chance to hang out with people from all walks of life and that we can all learn and grow from each other.
I have recently quit my job and am on a self discovery journey for 2 years plus, where i aim to travel central and south America, learn Spanish, meet lots of different people, hopefully become a scuba dive instructor, do some Woofing and live in a different culture for a period of time.
Once i have settled somewhere i would love to share my knowledge of my new home with other travellers, as soon as I have the means to I'm excited to host!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Worked at a hospital in Nepal as a nurse for 1 month, living with local tibetan refugees who treated us like family, survived with no hot water or electricity the whole time, and got an insiders view on the amazing Tibetan and Hindu culture that i hope to learn more about. I also worked with indigenous in the Kuna Yala CoMarc in Panama for 4 months, in some of the clearest water in the world!
