About Me

I'm 25, just graduated from Vet Science, and work full time as a Marketing Manager. I'm also a photographer on the side- you can find me at http://stephonmephotography.wixsite.com/explore if you want to take a look at some of my work!

I love cinematography, design and all things creative- if you do too, we'll probably get along really well. I also love languages, and tend to pick them up pretty quickly. I'm freespirited, adventurous, a bit crazy and very friendly- I like to travel alone or go out alone and always make new friends.

I truly believe everything is a lesson in the world, and that everyone comes into your life for a reason. I also believe strongly in intuition and energy; I always go with my heart.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A couple of years ago I travelled with a friend to India (who is joining me for a bit on my upcoming trip!), and met some amazing people through CS over there.

I can say without a doubt that to meet and stay with a local is a hundred times better than being in a hostel or hotel. I don't believe in sightseeing or bucket lists; I prefer to take my time in a city, get a coffee or a beer with the locals and enjoy the vibes.

Music, Movies, and Books

Read: I like fantasy. The Bell Jar, Earths Childen series, Obernewtyn chronicles, Dan Brown.

Movies- Tarantino, Woody Allen, Psychological Thrillers and Period Films. The Game, Nuevas Reinas, Relatos Salvajes, anything with Marion Cotillard. Guilty pleasure movie: Devil Wears Prada, The Holiday, Disney movies.

Music- always changing and depends on my mood of course. Mostly indie and singer/songwriter as I play acoustic guitar. If I'm partying, house/electro/techno

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Five days across Salar De Uyuni, Bolivia.

Watching a Cheetah hunt on safari in Kenya, petting and playing with a cheetah in Kenya (and hearing it purr- it sounds like a machine gun!!), playing with white lion cubs in Tasmania, visiting the temple of Karnak and feeling like an ant, swimming in crystal blue water in Santorini and New Caledonia, watching the sunrise over the desert in Egypt, road tripping in Australia.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to play guitar, speak greek, ride horses, and I love cooking...apart from that, I know how to catch and handle sheep/chickens/pigs and cattle, but I don't think you'll need to know any of that... :)

I love learning other languages!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm a pretty good cook! I can cook up a Greek feast for you, teach or play guitar with you, share a coffee, wine or beer and just generally good vibes and good times.

Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Cambodia, Chile, Colombia, Egypt, Fiji, Greece, India, Kenya, Malaysia, New Caledonia, Peru, Thailand, Tonga, United States
