About Me

Oh what to tell about myself? I could tell you so many things? Maybe most important here is that I am a solo female traveller passionate to discover all the views and cultures of all the people that live on this crazy planet. Like really, people are so cool and have so many crazy stories, I love to find them all. Currently I am really in love with Asia and spend already one and a half year just in SEA and China. I think I could slow travel forever!
I also lived for a year with a family in Brazil when I was 18yo. Oh how I miss South America now (I will come back I promise x).

I can tell you I want to discover and learn, but also grow as a person by challenging myself! I studied law, but didnt find the information I needed to make sense of this world so travelling became my university! I am kinda into geopolitics but I also love how I can find family and friends all over the world, sharing their life experiences and wisdom, and thus building my personality and insights over the years.

I also try to be a creative person (or maybe I just am, who knows), but you will see my amateur water colours of travel memories and I am happy to water colour a bit together (I can teach you the basics, no worries).

Enough about me. I want to get to know your story!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To get to know a country from the people who live in it. Of course! (=New experiences, new people, new cultures, new habits, new food, new friends?)

Interests

Long nights out with friends, exhausting hikes to tops of mountains, hitchhikiiiiing, achieving my next goal, hang out with random people, dancing when I'm happy, eat amazing vegetarian food, singing around a campfire, exploring the world and lifelong learning.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Making my way home from Thailand without taking a plane. I met so many nice people and seeing the world changing so gradually was truly life changing. I could slow travel forever ;)

Teach, Learn, Share

I love learning languages from native speakers or learning to cook local cuisine. I can teach you some watercolours or share my travel stories

What I Can Share with Hosts

I try to be a clean mind in a clean body. I take my time to get to know the place I am in and am happy to share about my travel experience and the insight I got (of travelling more than a year).
