Hi! I'm Iris (: I live in Portugal currently and work online as a functional hormone specialist. In my free time I love going on hikes, dancing (ecstatic dance, zouk, kizomba), and reading.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people and immersing myself in the local community rather than staying at hotels.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelled to the Colombian Amazon all by myself and stayed with an indigenous community for over a month - the most beautiful experience. Another amazing thing is that I ended up assisting the homebirth of the baby of my couchsurf hosts in Malta.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love sharing wisdom about the menstrual cycle and nutrition.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Food, yoga skills, knowledge on pregnancy and birth, menstrual knowledge, pelvic health, etc.
