I would say that I am quite open minded and eager to learn more. I have just come back from a 13.5 month trip travelling the world (on a stellar budget too!) so I completely understand the highs and lows that come with being away. Plus, I have a strong appreciation for diversity, traditions and food.

I travel because I want to experience and I do Couchsurfing because I want to not just tick a country off the list but I want to live it the way a local does. The touristy things are not my number one priority but a night talking with people or walking around the city make are what I value.

I love to cook (and even more so love to eat ). I am a yes woman (within reason) and like adventures and trying new things. I express my opinion honestly and not forcibly and hope you can do the same for me.

I am such a fitness enthusiast and if you want to gym or exercise together let me know.

I have received the utmost kindness and amazing experiences because of Couchsurfing and I can’t wait to repay our CS community back at home.

NOTE: As I have only just come back to Sydney, I am living with my parents in the suburbs which is about a 30 minute direct train to the center.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

After the awesome experiences I had using Couchsurfing, I am inspired by my hosts and wish to give my guests a memorable experience in Sydney. Travel with a local is not something that all people can do and it makes beings way so much more fruitful.

When I was travelling I found that there were so many travel blogs that end up saying the same things. Instead I wanted to experience a country like a local. I think countries are more like books - that means they need more time to digest and there are a few chapters. I don’t want the top 10 things to do but I want an authentic and unique exploration. I want to give this experience and if you want me to host you, write GOOD ENERGY at the start of your request.

Music, Movies, and Books

Book lover - non fiction.

I listen to majority of music types but having recently just left Latin America, I am into salsa and Reggaeton. If you like we can go to salsa night on Tuesday.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2023, I decided to travel the world for 13.5 months and came back 2 days before starting my full time job.

Some say I am a crazy traveller - I hitchhiked in 22 countries including Mexico and the Balkans, stayed at strangers houses that I met on the street at least once a week (I love people and a good way to connect with others is to stay with them), hiked several volcanoes including Fuego in Guatemala and slept in a cave in Petra. I have a lot of stories that I hope to exchange with you :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I like to pick up words from every country and can teach you my favourite ones. I speak Italian fluently and have basic conversation level Spanish thanks to the 4 months I spent on that continent, so if you speak Spanish, I would love the practice.

If you are curious about travel hacks I can help you out with a heap for authentic travel. I ask a lot of questions too and people say that I am such a curious monkey.

I love food and have learnt how to cook a few different dishes from some of the places I have visited, if you can come and teach me a traditional vegetarian dish from your country, I would be super grateful.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I now work 5 days a week and can hang out after work after 5 and on the weekends. I like to hang out with my friends and probably will be going to a social event which you are welcome to join. I understand the basics that a traveller needs and will provide you access to these things for sure. Honestly, I am very grateful for those who opened up their home to me as a stranger and I hope that you also show your appreciation.
