Friendly Reminder:
Fake and empty support of marginalized groups only makes you a white savior. Performative solidarity is exploitation in disguise and having close proximity to marginalized communities isn’t something to be proud about. It’s weird! Real allyship is action, not optics 😊.

Also please don’t be pretentious or a knowitall, I’ve had enough of that in my life.

Currently trying to embrace life again fully after some big life changes. Looking forward to new horizons, less setbacks and even less dickheads.

Couchsurfing has really opened my eyes to a world of wonderful people and new experiences that I would have never been able to be apart of without this platform. The generosity and caring from people on this platform has been overwhelming and I finally getting to a stage in my life where I can host!

Currently studying 🍷

I’m here to exchange ideas and stories. The more we share, the more our webs are interwoven!

Remember, life is about the journey so enjoy the small steps.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To figure out if couches can actually surf and if so, then why isn't there an Olympic Games category for it yet?

Jokes aside, I don't think my world travels would be the same without being apart of Couchsurfing. The cultural exchange and sharing of each others lives is amazing! It's wild how much you can get to know someone in just a few days.

Music, Movies, and Books

Although my music taste is pretty eclectic I'm usually into pop, house, chill step, r&b, alternative and indie. If it's boppy, then I'm keen.

I haven't seen MANY movies that everyone should apparently watch but I usually like thrillers.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

During my trip to South America, I hiked down and up Colca Canyon in Peru. It might not seem like it’s that amazing but I’m deathly afraid of heights 🙃.

Got my Australian citizenship 🇦🇺🦘

Realizing I was worth way more than what I was being given.

Teach, Learn, Share

Anything and everything I can because humans are made to interact and grow. I enjoy learning random facts and little tidbits of information.

More specifically I’ve love to learn Spanish, how to meditate better, improve my yoga, baking secrets and I’m open to all book recommendations!

I can teach what I know about cooking, yoga, my home country ( although I think most people are tired of hearing about America), Australia, op culture, the Twilight Series and hopefully much more. 🙃

What I Can Share with Hosts

Just moved to Portland so I'm still getting my barings but I can show you around this great city!

I can give you tip on Australia (especially Melbourne!) and how to do the city on cheap.

Apart from that I can share my language, my culinary skills, witty banter over a drink or five and a smiling face.
