I’m a curious soul who loves meaningful conversations, local experiences, and seeing the world through others’ eyes. I’m easygoing, respectful, and always up for learning something new—whether it’s a recipe, a language, or a perspective.

I have a career in education. I’m an English teacher, specializing in proficiency tests such as TOEFL and IELTS. I’m passionate about language learning, writing, cultural exchange, or anything related to philosophy and literature. When I travel, I’m less interested in touristy spots and more into quiet cafés, local hangouts, and stories that don’t make it to travel blogs.

I believe in kindness, shared laughter, and the magic of unexpected connections.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m on Couchsurfing simply because I love meeting new people. For me, travel is not just about places—it’s about the connections we make along the way. I enjoy hearing people’s stories, learning about different cultures, and sharing perspectives over a cup of tea or a walk around the city. I believe these encounters, even if short, can leave a lasting impact.
