About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learning. Discovering. Exploring. Challenging.

ABOUT ME

I love traveling to submerge myself in different situations and cultures/environments. It is a great test of character to step outside your comfort zone, to meet new people from all walks of life and to be open to listen to other people's stories. Best way to learn new things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because it was one of my most memorable trips thus far! Meeting locals makes exploring a city or place so much better and you learn about things you normally wouldn't had you stayed at a hostel or signed up with a tour group.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Absolutely amazing! Looking forward to doing it again.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Living abroad in France for a year and working as an au pair.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would like to learn how to do a cartwheel before I die!

I'm not entirely sure what knowledge or skill I have that people would be interested in learning about, I guess you'll have to get to know me to find out!

It would be cool to learn sign language and Swahili.
