I have travelled lots of places and met incredible people, while making amazing couchsurfing friends. I like hiking, adventure, travel, cooking & eating, exploring new cultures, reading, learning, and languages. ABOUT US My partner (Jeff) and I are travelling Latin America and South America together from April 2024 - July 2024. Following that we are heading to Europe to see Lofoten Islands in Norway and volunteer in refugee camps in Greece for 2 months. PHILOSOPHY Honestly, just be kind.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I'm on couchsurfing to find a community of people, whether it be locally or internationally, that can share their world with my world. That I can learn from and at the same time teach, listen to and engage with mindfully, in an open, humble way.

One Amazing Thing I've Done
Walking El Camino De Santiago, 800km from France to Spain. Traveling Australia for 2 years by van.
Teach, Learn, Share
All kinds of people. I love the philosophy of this site, that everyone is a student and everyone is a teacher. Everyone's got a story to tell with the ability to impact the way you think.
What I Can Share With Hosts
Great conversations, a meal, sharing my life and hearing yours. I love meeting new people and learning about who they are and why they are the way they are and so I'm always open for hours of conversation if time allows :)
