Overview
About Me
Hey!
I'm a very relaxed, friendly, optimistic, open-minded person and I love meeting new people and sharing good conversation.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I'm on couchsurfing to experience the true life and culture of the people of the country I'm visiting and to make new friends all over the world :)
Interests
My interests include reading, listening to music, making jewellery, learning Spanish, yoga and dancing.
I like to balance my time between the city and nature. I always feel the most calm and happy when I'm outdoors whether it's in the forest, hiking in the mountains, swimming in a waterfall or floating in the calm waves of the ocean.
I also love the excitement of the city, trying new foods, dancing in dark bars, drinking coffee in sunny parks and watching all kinds of people go about their lives.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
In 2014 I went on a road trip all the way around Australia (22,000km!), For those 7 months I lived in the car and it was one of the most freeing, fun, challenging and beautiful experience of my life so far.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can help with speaking English and I'm learning how to make macrame jewellery so I can teach how to make a basic bracelet and necklace.
I would like to learn how to cook some local dishes, how to dance salsa, and of course improve my Spanish.

I would be very happy to share my love of cooking healthy meals, good conversation, love of travelling and meeting new people.
