Overview
About Me
I live in Europe, and between spring to autumn I work at English camps in Germany and Austria.
In the last two weeks of September I will do a cycling trip with my friend Kamen (pictured in my profile). We are really looking forward to this. I have cycled around Switzerland a few times but have not cycled as much in Austria.
Kamen is from Bulgaria but grew up in Canada. We met a couple years ago when I was living briefly in Bulgaria and he was back for a visit. We ended up travelling to Sicily with my mom, which was an interesting experience, and then we worked in Germany together for a couple weeks.
I had my profile set to my parents home in Canada, but never got any requests there… we live in a small town in the middle of nowhere. My WarmShowers profile is set to Canada… that works a bit better since there is a map on that site. We usually get a couple cyclists a year.
I also use BeWelcome, which is set to my home in Canada. If you found my Couchsurfing profile through there, feel free to send me a message, and let me know you are travelling in Canada.
For now I have changed my profile to Sofia. I lived there for a few months and maybe I can arrange for a friend to host you there.
No smoking here.

I have had the most amazing opportunities and have met the most incredible people through Couchsurfing. It’s pretty cliche but it’s true.
I absolutely loved my hosting experiences, but as you can see, I have been a guest more than a host. This is largely because I have been in Europe for five years, but mostly as an au pair and working in English camps. When I have been an au pair, I have to ask the family I stay with before hosting. Usually this is not a problem, but the main reason I haven’t hosted more is simply because I have stayed with families in small towns where couchsurfers rarely visit, so I hardly get any requests. I have a lot of hosting to do in the future…
If you have nothing on your profile and no references, then please send me a detailed request. Otherwise a copied and pasted message is totally okay.
I’m living in Europe, but I don’t really have a permanent address. When I have a place that I can host, I will update my location. Other times I might have a place for just a few days, and I look at public trips to try to offer someone a place wherever I am.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
When travelling, it is the best way to experience a county. When hosting, it is always interesting to learn how others travel.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Rafted on the river in Bosnia at the end of December.
Finished a 105km ultramarathon in Slovakia.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can juggle, I suppose I could teach that. I even made some money doing some busking as a juggler.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I’m always happy to bring food and/or drinks for my hosts. I can clean and help around the house too. Most of the time I do not have much planned during the day when I am travelling, I just enjoy meeting people and experiencing different cultures, so I’m happy to do some work for you and try to make myself useful.
