Most of the time, when people meet me they realise their first impression of who I am is usually not quite what they expected. A friend of mine once described me as a brown egg... Curious? If so I would be more then happy to share my stories with you over cheap wine and fancy cheese :)
I prefer to keep this section short as it feels a little awkward to talk about myself in order to make you want to host me or be hosted by me and for some reason after many attempts these things always end up sounding so cheesy..

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The concept of couch surfing has always intrigued me. I admire the people who are trusting enough to let strangers into their homes and vs versa, those who are out of their comfort zone and have no doubt in staying at a home of someone they had only met online in a city they are new to.
People on couch surfing must have some of the kindest and most generous hearts and these are the people I would like to get to know, especially in such a materialistic world that we live in. I want to be immersed fully into the culture of which ever country I am visiting and I want those who visit my home that I am proud of to have the best experience possible.

Interests

My interests involve anything that will make my heart race with fear and excitement. Anything to do with heights and jumping of things, count me in!
Scuba diving is my meditation and a big dream of mine is to get my cave diving license. I want to explore the unexplored and have my breath taken away every chance I get. I love the ocean. I love the beach. I love the mountains, the list goes on....
When I travel I definitely have FOMO (a new term I recently learned about) and you will find me climbing everything possible to get the best sunset view and walking everywhere to not miss a single quirky hipster shop or ice cream parlour or street art.
A recent vegetarian and wanna be yogi and most importantly, definitely got the travel bug.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Becoming a Scuba Instructor was definitely a big surprise.
The opportunity to dive with whale sharks and bull sharks
Living on a secluded beach in Mexico for half a year.

Staying with an Amazonian tribe in Ecuador
Walking almost 900 km across an entire country (camino de Santiago)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to make the most amazing nachos! (the only thing I can proudly say is delicious)
If we are in the right location, the possibility to learn scuba diving is also possible :)
I want to learn more languages, start rock climbing and also improve my cooking skills
I would love to share my stories, good vibes, lessons I've learnt since leaving the comfort of my home and I will gladly share wine and cheese over a sunset with some good company.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Delicious food, delicious drinks, beautiful views, unforgettable moments, fun stories and hopefully a night to remember :)
