I did the solo slow-travel life for 5 years and loved it..hitchhiking, camping, volunteering, some odd jobs in hospitality or on the beach, making friends, learning languages, and writing along the way. Finally, I ended up here in Hong Kong in Jan 2025.

Of all the countries I could have moved to as a teacher, I chose Hong Kong because of its nature. So let's go hiking, swimming, camping, or all of the above! This summer I got really into open water swimming, and am now trying to do more long-distance hikes, and considering a triathlon.

If you like to play the board game "Settlers of Catan" and want to have a rooftop game night while you're here, definitely let me know in your message and we can set it up.

Message for SOLO MALE travelers: I do host solo guys, but if so, my boyfriend will stay in the flat with us for sure on the first night and likely more nights of your stay. You would of course have your own bed, in the loft that you can see in my pictures. I hope you are okay with this, but if not, then you can kindly request to stay with another host :) he is a Couchsurfer, too, with over 100 CS experiences. When I host females and couples, he will usually not stay over, as my flat is indeed quite small.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

To explore the world, and share my little corner of it with others (when I am in a stationary location).

音乐、电影和书籍

Where to start with books?! I read everything from fantasy and sci-fi to romance and historical fiction to creative nonfiction. My Kindle/e-reader is one of the most essential items on any packing list of mine!

教，学，和分享

Languages - I grew up in Brazil so we can do Portuguese, or Spanish from my traveling. And of course I'm more than happy to help practice English as well!

Since doing a 10-day Vipassana retreat in Bolivia, I have been interested in meditation and developing my mind, though this is definitely in the "learn" category, as I am still a rookie!

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

Not gonna lie, I am not the greatest cook in the world 😆 but I have a ton of stories to share and love trying new things. Sometimes when I've surfed I've gotten ideas to do things that turned out to be first-time experiences for my hosts in their own cities, which was always fun. For example, going for a midnight swim in the river that runs through Prague. Or climbing over a wall to start hiking early and be the first ones up to the Christ Statue in Rio de Janeiro. So if you host me and are up for anything, I guarantee we will have some adventures!
