About Me

Have fun and learn something in the process. Together with leaving everything better than how I found it, this sums up my approach to life.

I've had the extreme fortune of connecting with amazing people all over the world, and Couchsurfing is but one of the ways I've been so blessed. I aim to connect the world and make everywhere feel like home, for everyone.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing has shaped my life in profound ways I never could have imagined, and I hope it continues to do so. Likewise, I hope I can be an positive light in the lives of others!

I once heard of hitchhiking, and it somewhat applies to Couchsurfing :
"Only crazy people hitchhike, and only crazy people pick up hitchhikers."

So be it! Better weird than boring! 😄

Interests

Life is change. Growth is optional. Choose wisely.
I'm always up for a challenge and learning something new - especially if it involves connecting with people and helping people share amazing experiences we can learn from.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I left home on exchange when I was 14, and again at 15

Teach, Learn, Share

Live. Laugh. Learn.
The world is an amazing place. I love it!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can speak five languages and am learning still more. I'm happy to teach you the languages I know and tips for learning languages.
I also know a thing or two about a lot of things, have some handy skills, and know people all over the world, so hopefully I can be of service.

Countries I’ve Lived In
