Open for spontaneous adventures, deep and meaningful conversations and simply connecting! 💃🏽

Loving this human experience and getting to know other beautiful humans along the journey on this amazing Earth that we call home 💛

Presently: I am focusing most my energy on my co-founded startup which is an international sustainable travel brand that will be selling products, connecting community and sharing stories (www.zuetani.earth). I’m somewhat slow traveling around SE Asia + basing myself in China while I do so and helping others as much as I can along the way. All my savings are going into my start up project and my purpose with it is, at its core, to simply make a positive difference in the world and help at large. This is what I care about most. I’m mostly staying in private rooms to be able to focus on work and if anyone is able to host me along the way I would be deeply grateful! I have a lot I can offer in return and am always more than happy to help in any way I can (whether just because, or in return ~ I simply care). Feel free to reach out for anything, honestly 🫶

A little about me as a being on Earth ~

- I’m Basque-Australian

I'm a very happy and adventurous soul. I love the natural world and immersing myself into different cultures (which is why I think couch surfing is great because it helps travellers do that.)

I immerse myself in a holistic lifestyle and love anything natural, environmentally friendly, symbiotic and free-spirited. I also love the combination of science and spirituality and any practices that explore this.

I’m vegan and like to eat as naturally sourced foods as possible. I love cooking and creating new things as well as immersing myself culturally in these experiences. Don’t drink but love going out for a dance or going to ecstatic dance.

I love exploring places people don't usually explore - so if you're someone who can take us on an adventure through the path less travelled (or keen to come and get lost with me 😂) - I would love to meet you!

I also love adventure sports! I am certified in skydiving 🪂 and scuba diving 🤿 and love outdoor rock climbing 🧗‍♀️ where I’d say I’m intermediate level. I tried skiing for the first time in Norway in 2022 and would love to immerse in snow sports more too!

CURRENTLY: Laos 🇱🇦
NEXT: Vietnam 🇻🇳 specifics, only the wind knows 🌬️

When at home (and also just always in general) I aim to pass on the kindness I have been shown throughout my travels to other wandering souls 💛

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think couch surfing is a really good way to meet new people in your travels. Awesome tool for connecting with locals who know the area and exchange advice/knowledge/stories and tips to have an amazing time - or share in part of the adventure! I love meeting people from around the world and exchanging stories.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music, I love exploring new genres, feel free to see my Spotify for what I listen to as Idk how to list it 😂 https://open.spotify.com/user/225hd2vezz4gtidw3mzyd2b4i?si=pbG0gyr8TlqBzzXVxUqQIw
Before I left Australia in April I was learning to play Ukulele and love playing around with a djembe too/going to dance at drum circles. However being on the move I haven’t had access to instruments.

I love movies that make me feel or question things, though I don’t often spend time in front of a screen.

In terms of books, I love to write (philosophical poetry) and love to read other people’s creative creations. One of my favourite authors as a child was Enid Blyton and growing into my teenage years I really loved Michael Scott and Christopher Pike. Now my reading isn’t as often as I would like, but an author I really appreciate is Paulo Coelho. Currently I’m reading Shantaram.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've done a lot of things in my lifetime thus far, but I think the term "amazing" would be different to different people. All I know is that everything I do is to feed happiness and growth, whether my own or another soul’s. So, I think this question is better left for conversations about life and I'll leave it to you to decide what's amazing when we have that conversation.

Teach, Learn, Share

I think the best knowledge in life is learnt through experience, and one of the most important parts of travelling for me, apart from all the beautiful places you see, is the people you meet. Everyone has such a different world around them created by their own experiences and emotions and I think we can all learn and take away something from one another that can stay with us for the rest of our lives and help us grow as our own. What I can teach you, or learn from you, or share with you, will depend on your own experiences as much as mine and is something we can only really find out once we meet.

In saying this, my deep focus in life has been understanding the mind and spirit, combining science and spirituality, and in more recent years connecting with the breath through multi-level breathwork. If this is something of interest to you, I could share some insights/offer guidance 🙏🏽

What I Can Share with Hosts

My love for life, deep conversations, a night out or getting lost in an adventure. Breathwork/coaching session, language exchange with English and Spanish currently to offer. Business guidance (I’ve been entrepreneurial since I was 19 and made it my full time income since 2018 with experience in hospitality, & airbnb, branding & marketing and now start ups) I also love to cook and play games! I have my time to give, my ears to listen and my heart to understand, love and appreciate.
