ABOUT ME

Hello you! I'm a fellow traveller and wanderer, currently studying a semester at UvA, Amsterdam. I'm friendly, easy going and open minded. I love meeting new people and experiencing new places and cultures. I'm quite spontaneous and am constantly looking for an adventure. I love climbing mountains, road trips, camping by the beach, seeking out waterholes, and getting lost in new cities (I possess a special talent for this in fact, given how directionally challenged I am).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've surfed once or twice and had a load of fun. I love the creative and welcoming sense of community that couch surfing creates beyond all our borders!

Interests

I'm interested in geo-politics, history and philosophy, and will happily debate them over a good cup of tea or a pint. I'm very passionate about the environment and human rights, and hope to one day make a career out of that. I also love cooking delicious new things to make people smile, a good sweaty yoga session, dancing my heart out to live music and howling at the moon.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiked for a few weeks through the Annapurna mountain range in the Himalayas, never could have imagined the intangible silent wisdom of the mountains.

Teach, Learn, Share

For me teaching, learning and sharing is the epitome of the human experience - at the moment I'm trying different instruments and art styles. I love learning about philosophy through the exchange. I can take us through some yoga and meditation, teach you french, a few things on the guitar. I love creating together too!
