Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To keep smiling, stay open, and let the next adventure surprise me!
ABOUT ME
I’m someone who finds deep joy in connecting with people, exploring the world through solo travel, photography, music, and meaningful conversations.
I’m curious, reflective, open-minded, and always trying to learn — about others and about myself. Traveling has helped me grow in so many ways: it’s pushed me out of my comfort zone, opened my heart, and taught me how much we all have in common beneath the surface of culture, language, or background.
I believe in kindness, in living simply and sincerely, and in bridging the gaps between people. I see travel not just as an adventure, but as a way of making the world feel smaller and more familiar — one conversation, one shared meal, or one laugh at a time.
I’ve traveled solo to several countries and really enjoy the freedom, spontaneity, and childlike wonder that come with it. I’ve also had the chance to host people from all over the world — each time learning something new, and often making friends for life.
You’ll often find me biking around town, reading a good book, journaling, taking photos, or listening to a good music. I’m also passionate about languages and love listening to people share stories from their corner of the world.
Above all, I try to live with intention and heart. And I believe that when we meet with open minds and open hearts, we make this world just a little bit better.
PHILOSOPHY
I believe in living with intention, kindness, and courage.
That fear, hatred, and intolerance divide us — and love, curiosity, and understanding bring us closer.
That freedom begins within, and when we free ourselves from limiting thoughts, we can truly connect with others.
I believe every person we meet has something to teach us.
That standing up for what you believe in — even when you're alone — is powerful.
That small, gentle actions can shake the world.
And that when we deeply want something, life has a way of helping us find our path.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I've had the joy of hosting people from different parts of the world, and each experience has been a window into new cultures, languages, histories, and ways of life. Hosting has taught me so much — not just about others, but also about myself.
Although I haven’t surfed many couches yet, whenever I’m a guest, I do my best to be respectful, considerate, and present. I believe that mutual respect is the heart of any good Couchsurfing experience — it turns a simple stay into a meaningful connection.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Couchsurfing has introduced me to so many amazing, open-hearted people — it's hard to count how many meaningful connections I’ve made through this community. Whether hosting or being hosted, each encounter has left me with beautiful memories, valuable lessons, and often new friendships.
I’ve hosted more than I’ve surfed so far, but I’m excited to explore the other side more and continue growing through these shared experiences.
