About Me

Being Est. 1995
Traveling spontaneously Est. 2013
Hitch hiking Est. 2018
Living nomadically Est. Jun 2025

Living in flow with alignment. Open for spontaneous adventures, deep and meaningful conversations and simply connecting! Also open to being hosted, creative collaborations, sharing road trips, camping, work-exchange/house sitting. 💃🏽

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 energetically focused on cultivating my co-founded startup which is an international sustainable travel brand that will be selling products, connecting community and sharing stories (www.zuetani.earth) as well as my personal brand which is in life philosophy, life guidance and channeled frequency readings (www.aimholistically.com). Im also writing a blog where I expand on philosophical/spiritual concepts and ideas on substack. (Thefieldnotebyaimholistically.substack.com/welcome)

I’m living nomadically while I work on these projects and help others as much as I can along the way. My purpose is to simply make a positive difference in the world and help at large.

As this is my way of life rather than a travel experience I take care to balance shared time with personal space and movement with stillness—I’m mostly staying mid-term in private rooms whether hosted, an energetic exchange, or renting.

Im always happy to help in any way I can. I genuinely 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! I’m active in general and love martial arts, ecstatic dance, yoga, aerial flows, calisthenics (beginner) and I love trying new things so anything not on this list but in this general direction, I’m always open to trying!

LAST ADVENTURE: Mexico 🇲🇽
CURRENT ADVENTURE: Canada 🇨🇦 🌬️

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, some recent books I’ve read that I love: Shantaram & Clan of the Cave Bear. Currently I’m reading Mathematica

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 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, shared adventures. Frequency scan/life coaching, multi-level breathwork session, language exchange with English and Spanish currently to offer. Business guidance (I’ve been entrepreneurial since I was 19, full-time 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.

Some things I can offer professionally/as work/volunteer exchange:
- Business consulting/development
- House-sitting (inclusive of longer term arrangements and things like running a hostel/homestay/airbnb/Cat and dog care, etc)
- Cooking (Vegan meals, natural sweets — inclusive of menu development for cafes)
