Hey folks! I discovered Couchsurfing last year while backpacking through New Zealand, and it completely changed my journey. I met incredible people who welcomed me with open arms, and I felt so much love and support along the way. Now it’s my turn to give something back! my door is open to the world, and I can’t wait to share stories, laughter, and good moments together.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

At first, I joined Couchsurfing to save some money — hostels can get quite expensive over time. But soon I realized that what I loved even more than traveling itself was connecting with people and learning from all kinds of different backgrounds. With Couchsurfing, you almost always get to truly interact with your host, and those moments often turn into incredible connections and friendships that became my favorite part of traveling.

Music, Movies, and Books

I’m a huge fan of fantasy and dystopian genres, especially stories that make me think deeply about the world. Some of my favorites are thought-provoking and have a way of staying with me long after I finish them. When it comes to music, I have a pretty eclectic taste that shifts with my mood, but anything melodic is my jam. I’m always excited to discover new sounds, especially through other people’s recommendations. One of my favorite artists is Aurora—I love her unique style and the atmosphere she creates with her music.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Honestly, I used to be very shy and introverted. Putting myself out there and connecting with people didn’t come naturally—it took courage and a lot of small steps. But as I opened up, something incredible happened. The more I worked on myself and let my true personality come through, the more I found myself surrounded by genuinely amazing people. It felt like magic—the kind of magic that only happens when you start showing up as the person you truly want to be. And when you do, you find people who appreciate you for exactly who you are and who encourage you to keep growing. This journey has taught me that real connection starts when we dare to be our most authentic selves.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teaching, learning, and sharing are what I live for—both professionally and personally. As an educator, I’m all about learning on equal footing, where we can grow together by exchanging knowledge and experiences. I’m always excited to learn something new from the people I meet, whether it’s a new skill, a story, or a different way of looking at the world.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love cooking, so I’d be happy to prepare a meal and share stories over a good dish! I’m also passionate about outdoor activities and sports, so I’d be thrilled to join any local adventures. Plus, I’m always up for a deep conversation about life, cultures, and everything in between. I hope to bring positivity and curiosity into every interaction with my hosts.
