ABOUT ME
I am an avid traveler and have been to over 6o countries on solo trips, with friends, with my partner...Each trip is different! I have hitch hiked and couch surfed in many countries and was always a great experience.
I love hanging out with fun and dynamic people who have also shared the experiences of living abroad and moving from place to place.
I love to stroll around new cities and will walk for hours or picnic anywhere there is grass and some sun. I love to dance to any music, whatever inspires me to move. I love discovering new tunes and sharing the playlists I am currently listening to on repeat.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Some of my most memorable experiences and encounters happened through couch surfing, and have met many great friends. I am constantly grateful for the web of people connected on couch surfing, giving friendly tips and advice regardless of ability to host.
I love to cook and I always try to thank my hosts with a home cooked meal, I love connecting with the international community, sharing stories and spending times with locals. I never want to be the type of tourist that only goes to super touristy places, takes a photo and leaves...
Interests
I love to hike and kayak and basically do anything outdoors. Good food and drink , accompanied by great stories, conversation and laughter are some of my favorite things.
I love to cook, to dance, love good music, I love coffee and tea and eating in general. Always love exchanging travel stories and tips or playing cards chilling with interesting people.

Teach, Learn, Share
I can cook a pretty tasty meal :).
I am fluent in French and I speak Spanish (albeit very rusty right now). I am particularly interested in health and wellness, notably meditation, yoga and Ayurveda. l make a lot of things from scratch, so can share some tips :).
If I’m in the mood I might be up for teaching a little yoga.
