Overview
About Me
I have been travelling extensively for the past 6 years and it has been 𝘼𝙒𝙀𝙎𝙊𝙈𝙀. I have made the world my Home and I thoroughly enjoy living as a Nomad.
I always told myself that I wanted to travel the world to get to know its 𝙋𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚 and their 𝘾𝙪𝙡𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙚, and Couchsurfing gave me this amazing opportunity for which I am really grateful. Through the years, I have never lost this curiosity to get to know someone new and I always leave somewhere not with photos but dear memories of someone.
I consider myself as a really chilled and laid-back person. I am a minimalist. I always make jokes, don't take me seriously, I am sarcastic but sincere. I love Nature and the countryside, I don't really like urban areas. I work as a freelancer giving language classes which I genuinely enjoy doing.
Things that I enjoy and like to do —
‣ Hike. Spend time in the mountains. Silent hiking.
‣ Ride a bicycle.
‣ Write poetry and prose.
‣ Maps. I love maps. Geography.
‣ Flowers.
‣ Archeology. History. Ethnology.
‣ Café. Water. Wine. Whisky. Craft beers. Magkeolli. Sake.
‣ Chill. Swim. Eat.
‣ Care for others and my surroundings. Be mindful.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Because of this Māori proverb —
𝙷𝚎 𝚊𝚑𝚊 𝚝𝚎 𝚖𝚎𝚊 𝚗𝚞𝚒 𝚘 𝚝𝚎 𝚊𝚘? 𝙷𝚎 𝚝𝚊𝚗𝚐𝚊𝚝𝚊, 𝚑𝚎 𝚝𝚊𝚗𝚐𝚊𝚝𝚊, 𝚑𝚎 𝚝𝚊𝚗𝚐𝚊𝚝𝚊.
« What is the most important thing in the world? It is people, it is people, it is people. »
Music, Movies, and Books

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I am truly grateful to be given the opportunity to explore the world as I do. The persons I have met on my way, my Journey, the beautiful relationships I have had, the emotions I have felt, all. Life has been such an intense adventure so far.
Teach, Learn, Share
Just ask. I am an open book.
Learn? Everything. How do you live? Where do you live? What do you eat? What are your perspectives? What do you live for?
What I Can Share with Hosts
Probably the most valuable thing in life — Time ⏳, and a listening ear 👂🏼. Humility. Social awareness.
