About Me

Hey there, fellow travellers and adventure seekers!

I’m a cosmopolitan cookie who’s hopped around Europe like it’s a game of Monopoly. I’ve lived in several countries, collected loads of memories, and made friends all over the map. After taking a (much too long) break from travelling, I’m thrilled to be back on the road, diving into new adventures with a renewed zest for life.

I'm a tennis nut who’s always up for a match or two. Off the court, I’m a proud (and slightly obsessed) dog mom to Biscuit, my adorable sausage dog who runs our cozy downtown Athens home. If you’re staying with us, expect a warm welcome and plenty of snuggles from Biscuit—she’s basically the boss around here.

When I'm not styling people remotely or figuring out how to change the world (one wild idea at a time), you’ll find me chasing sunsets, swapping stories, and enjoying the little (and big) things that make life beautiful. If you're into good vibes, laughs, and a bit of adventure, let's connect!

Looking forward to meeting you and sharing some great times! 🌍✈️🐾

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’ve heard so many incredible stories about Couchsurfing from a good friend back in England who was absolutely obsessed with it. She used to rave about the amazing people she met and the unforgettable experiences she had—so much that I’ve wanted to dive in for ages! But between work, moving around, and life just getting in the way, I never quite made it happen... until now. So, I’m a bit of a newbie here, which is why I don’t have any references (yet!). But if you’re willing to take a chance on someone who’s fun, respectful, and loves good company, I promise you won’t regret it. Plus, Biscuit the sausage dog can vouch for me—she thinks I’m pretty awesome. 😁

Music, Movies, and Books

Music is my love language, especially when it’s soulful, artful hip hop and R&B that hits you right in the feels. Think beats that make you want to groove and lyrics that get stuck in your head for days. I absolutely love dancing, though I’ll admit I have two left feet—let’s just say rhythm and coordination aren’t exactly my best friends, but that never stops me from tearing up a dance floor (or at least trying to!). If you’re down for a home-dance-off full of funky moves and lots of laughs, I’m your person ;p!

When it comes to movies, I’m a total genre-hopper—I love them all! But if I had to pick, thrillers, sci-fi, and independent films are my go-tos. There’s just something about the suspense, the futuristic worlds, and the raw storytelling that pulls me in every time. I’m also a huge fan of classics like Indiana Jones—because who doesn’t love a good adventure? And Out of Africa holds a special place in my heart for its sweeping romance and stunning landscapes. On the more intense side, What Becomes of the Broken Hearted and Apocalypto are powerful films that stick with you long after the credits roll. I love movies that dive deep into culture, society, and the human condition—especially when they come with a side of action and a dash of the unexpected!

When it comes to books, I’m a mix of self-discovery and epic storytelling. Don Miguel Ruiz’s books have been life-changers for me—The Four Agreements is practically my life manual! On the historical side, I’m completely captivated by Robert Graves’ I, Claudius series—there’s just something about scheming Roman emperors that never gets old. And then there’s Dune… wow. I’m still making my way through it (because it’s a beast of a book), but the world-building and mind-bending concepts have totally blown my mind. Definitely one of those reads that stays with you long after you put it down!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It’s hard to pick just one amazing thing I’ve done because I seem to have a knack for chasing wild adventures! There was that time I did a skydive near Stonehenge, screaming my head off while floating above ancient history. Or the spontaneous decision to jump into a car with a complete stranger in Rio (crazy, I know!) and road-trip to his holiday home in Búzios, Brazil’s surfing paradise. And let’s not forget swimming with sea turtles in Hawaii—sharing the ocean with those gentle giants was pure magic. Life’s too short not to take those once-in-a-lifetime leaps, right?

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: If you’re up for a laugh, I can teach you how to entertain a sausage dog with some ridiculous tricks (Biscuit is a real show woman). Oh, and I’m a Human Design lover! If you’re curious about what your chart says (or have no idea what I’m talking about but are intrigued), I’d be happy to dive into it with you and help you decode your type. It’s a fun way to explore what makes us tick—think of it as personality meets astrology with a twist!

Learn: I’m always eager to learn new languages, local recipes, and those hidden life hacks you only discover when you meet people from different cultures. Teach me how to cook your favourite dish, or show me your secret for living life to the fullest—I’m all ears!

Share: I’d love to share stories, adventures, and laughter over a good meal or a glass of wine.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I’m always happy to share good vibes, a ton of travel stories, and a genuine curiosity about the world. And if you’re into tennis, I’m game for a match : )

I’m a silly sausage at heart (yes, Biscuit is clearly rubbing off on me) and really just up for having a good time, sharing laughter, joy, and happiness—cheesy as it sounds! My glass is always half full, and I have a knack for seeing the positive in life, even in the little things. I love connecting with people who have that same zest for life and aren’t afraid to embrace the good vibes. So, whether we’re cooking, chatting, or just hanging out, I’m all about spreading smiles and creating moments that leave us both a little happier.
