Hello beautiful people,

My name is Yvonne but my friends know me and call me Eve. I am a free-spirited, open minded, and spontaneous individual who really enjoys the simple act of being in the moment and enjoying life to the fullest. I am curious and adventurous and LOVE to travel and backpack places I've never been, to explore other cultures and learn as much as I can.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think Couchsurfing is a special community where you're able to connect and network with other like-minded people who share a love of travel, sharing stories, and having a good time. I think that's awesome! :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I LOVE many different genres of music - it really depends on my mood. Jazz, Blues, Soul, R&B, Funk, and acoustic rock are probably my go-to. But I also love Old School, Classic rock, Alternative, Indie, Folk, Country (yes, really) Reggae, Latin and Reggaeton (best music for dancing :P)

...Oh music, it's so good for the soul :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2012 I embarked on a 1 month solo backpacking journey to Costa Rica. It was my first trip ever and my first time flying. I experienced countless first experiences and It completely opened up and changed my world forever. Of course, I totally caught the travel bug and have since been traveling every year, escaping some of the harsh winter.

Teach, Learn, Share

Some of my favourite quotes that I live by are...

'It's not about the destination, it's about the journey; enjoy the ride'

...This is my favourite because it sums up what I truly believe, life is not a race to the finish line, it is a journey of ups and downs and it's so important to stop and smell the roses - to enjoy it as much as you can!

'Don't worry, be happy'

'This, too, shall pass'

'You will never be completely at home again, because part of your heart will always be elsewhere. That is the price you pay for the richness of loving and knowing people in more than one place'

What I Can Share with Hosts

A part of my fun, authentic self through conversation, laughter, good food and drink.
