Hey! Here's my new Couchsurf profile as before I was traveling with a buddy and using his profile, you can check our reviews there: https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/luke-collins-12

So I'm currently traveling Europe during my gap year! So far I've worked as an au pair in England and Paris, hitch-hiked around the Netherlands, camped in the middle of winter and taught English in Ukraine. I love exploring new places and I'm a huge fan of slow traveling and taking the time to get to know a country and culture inside out, meet locals etc. I love being in nature, doing photography, writing, yoga, reading books and cooking vegan food.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think CS is an awesome way to meet up with locals and learn more about the country! I love being open to new people and not seeing the people around you as 'strangers' but as fellow humans who are in the same boat as you. I've met the most amazing and interesting people through couch surfing and I would love to host one day when I'm more settled.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Deciding not to go to college and trying to start my own business.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach you some of the languages that I know or we could do some yoga together. I also know how to make some amazing vegan curries and other dishes and a good old Dutch apple pie.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I believe everything happens for a reason and you meet the right people on the right time in your life, so I'd love to share some interesting conversations over good food or a nice cup of tea. Every person has something unique and special to teach you, so I'd love to share a moment together to get to know each other better :)
