About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I just moved to Ariège as I couldn't live in London anymore and hot lucky enough to start a new adventure here.

I am away in July and won't be able to host at that time...

ABOUT ME

Have been travelling for studies and work during the last 10 years.
I was living in Sweden for 9 months, I spent 4 months in Peru and also I have been travelling around Australia for one year. I was living in Jerusalem for two years and the in Dominican Republic for one year. I have been working and living 4 years in London and in between I travelled around Asia for a year.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have been enjoying couch surfing for the last years, mainly as a guest. So I'd like to return the favour and share my space with guests.

I am very keen on sharing and talking about various topics. I am quite curious and I will have loads of questions about your culture, ideally with nice food.
But if I were one of the seven dwarfs, I'd be sleepy as I like to sleep early.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Got several couch surfing experiences (Hosting and being hosted), each one was great and very special. My host have always made my journeys very different from what it would have been if I stayed in a hotel. I am grateful for that.
