Hi,
I'm a peaceful, considerate vegetarian/vegan, who practices yoga and meditation and loves the countryside and outdoors.
I am working on writing my debut novel on the climate crisis.
I can speak Spanish at a coherent level and I'm working towards a higher proficiency, and I've tried learning a bit of Italian and Portuguese, which I didn't find too hard.
I've spent some years living in Italy and Portugal, and traveled round Europe, which was a wonderful experience!
I play a little guitar and sing, sometimes paint and sketch.
I have been doing a lot of running and mountain hiking and love outdoor sports.
After years of navigating my way through life, I found what I'd consider my passion. I'm working to set myself up in a new career.
I'm friendly and sociable and love to meet new people from around the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love travelling, learning new languages and meeting new people, from all over the world.

Staying with people on CouchSurfing is a great way to meet people in a new country and get some really good top tips and advice on travelling and staying in their country.

Interests

I'm an easy-going, fun-loving and gentle person.
I'm open to new experiences, new activities, new cultures and new ways of thinking.
I'm very accommodating and polite.
I tend to spend a lot of my time either reading, researching things online, discussing things with people, writing, or thinking. Which is probably why I've taken to writing in my spare time.
When I'm not writing I like to relax, enjoy the beauty that is life and create good memories with others around me.
