About Me

Hi there!
I’m outgoing, curious, and committed to living life to the fullest. Whether it’s birdwatching at sunrise, flowing through yoga, hiking to catch the first light, or unwinding with watercolor in nature, I thrive on experiences that connect me to the world around me. Travel inspires me, and my background in economics keeps me grounded in understanding how people and communities thrive.

I believe the world is full of beauty and possibility, and I care deeply about community, sustainability, and tolerance. At the same time, I love sharing good times and creating memories with others. For me, it’s all about balance: adventure and reflection, learning and laughter, exploring the world while making it a better place.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think this is a wonderful platform for traveling and meeting people who want to share time together, whether it’s exploring the area, grabbing a coffee, or simply supporting each other by offering a place to stay.

Interests

I love going for walks in nature, sometimes with my binoculars to spot local birds, other times simply to enjoy gardens and especially flowers. Yoga and mindfulness are a big part of my life, and I also find joy in live music and visiting art museums. Whenever I get the chance, I go scuba diving, and when I’m home, especially in the winter, I spend time painting. A good cup of coffee, a great book, and a crisp sunrise are some of my favorite simple pleasures. When I travel, I like to go with the flow, embrace new experiences, and connect with new people along the way.
