About Me

Hey!
I am a head chef, black belt, sea/sun music loving smiley 25 year old travelling solo.
I decided that if i continued slaving away in a kitchen, i would be old regretting my wasted youth. So i resigned, moved out of my flat, packed a bag and bought a 1 way ticket. Best decision ever.

I don't book things in advance, i go with the flow and book my bus ticket usually the morning i leave. It gives me freedom and spontaneity. And that feels awesome!! I have been playing dot to dot with Europe 😎

I want to be filled to the brim of crazy stories and experiences. I try everyday to do something out of my comfort zone and meet as many people as possible.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

CS has been priceless for me so far. I've met so many awesome people that have opened their world to me. It's a fabulous way to meet other travellers, and i can't wait to host when i figure out where i will live next 😎.

Interests

I like to wake up everyday with no plans set.
If you told me there was an abandonded building that was cool inside, id be well up for checking it out!
I like the history of every place i have visited. But memories come from the people you do it with.
I am interested in people and their stories, their experiences and always waiting for tips!
