Overview
About Me
Curious traveler, content creator, and lover of beautiful views and meaningful experiences. I enjoy meeting people from different cultures, sharing stories, and making the most of wherever I am.
I value respect, good communication, and a relaxed, positive atmosphere. Hosting for me is about comfort, safety, and good energy — a place to unwind, laugh, and enjoy the moment.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I’m here to connect with locals and travelers alike — to share space, stories, and experiences that you won’t find in a travel guide. I’ve learned that the best way to experience a city is through its people, and Couchsurfing gives me a chance to do exactly that.
I also love hosting when I can — especially if you’re into music, deep convos, or just vibing over coffee or wine. I’ll always do my best to make you feel safe and at home

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I once cooked a full African dinner for someone visiting South Africa for the first time — barefoot, with jazz in the background, under fairy lights, in a kitchen I barely knew. We didn’t speak the same first language, but by the end of that night, we understood each other perfectly. That’s the kind of moment I live for.
