ABOUT ME

I am an open minded photographer, amateur Illustrator and history aficionado, I love having a good conversation, sharing experiences, eating a lot, listening to all kinds of music. I can take you to the historic center, museums etc, and give you lots of recommendations for coffee (I used to work part time as a tour guide, so you know you will be in good hands)

CURRENT MISSION

Learn languages (currently learning Portuguese) and Kickstart my visual communication business project

PHILOSOPHY

Acknowledging I'm only in control of my own decisions and not anyone else's has allowed me to be thankful for every person and experience, learning from everything and everyone all the time.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I just like to give back, I've been aided and guided while travelling and I try my best to do the same for other travellers. I also love getting together with other CS on language exchange events, mostly language exchange!

Currently reading a collection of Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz's writing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Just listening to the wind while sitting on a cliff on an island over the Caribbean, the little details are the greatest lessons.

I like learning and sharing, any conversation is welcomed, I truly believe everyone has something special to give.
