Overview
About Me
"See her out there in the distance moving slow, she's an easy rider and she don't need no place to go..."
👍🏼🚘
I live for the open road, unexpected profound connections, and wild synchronicities.
I'm a curious, authentic, and open-minded human being with a contagious laugh and a deep love for movement—in body, heart, and soul. I embrace both sensuality and transcendence in my daily life... a hopeful romantic who daydreams a lot, yet stays grounded.
With a background in Philosophy (BA) and Horticulture (BEng), I'm passionate about regenerative agroforestry (syntropic agriculture) and exploring innovative approaches to food production. I also work as an English tutor and genuinely enjoy teaching kids and teenagers.
I've practiced Taekwon-do ITF, kickboxing, and played football—until I burned out chasing a pro dream that was never truly mine. These days, I take things slowly, more intuitively and enjoy movement in many different forms (especially climbing trees and dancing).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I want to connect with people from around the world, learn something from them, hear their stories or just have some fun with them. On the other hand I'd like to teach others something I know, inspire them and help them with their personal growth.
