About Me

Hello!
I've always wanted to explore the world so I did what anyone would do with a dream - I quit my HR desk job and started my traveling adventures in July 2018. I enjoy taking my time visiting all of these wonderful new places to get a better grasp on the culture, language, people, etc. I'm friendly and easy to get along with in general. :)

I teach English online part-time to earn some money for my travels. Before I quit my job I was an HR Generalist and a part-time student until I graduated. I was also a Graphic Designer for a few years before going back to school. I earned my Bachelor's degree in Anthropology so cultures, history and people in general are a continuous fascination of mine. I love to cook and read (not at the same time haha), cycling, charcoal drawing, drinking wine, and "trying" to speak a new language. I've learned some Thai, French, Spanish and Italian so far but get them mixed up.

I was brought up to be responsible and reliable so I promise to be a considerate and clean guest. :) I look forward to getting to know all of you I meet one day. I’m an open book so please feel free to ask me anything.

Cheers! Ciao! Sà-wàd-dee-kâ! Salut! Adios!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm traveling for about a year and sometimes I'm in a new city for only one to three days so Couchsurfing seems a a great way to get to know the area and meet new people quickly. And sometimes I just need a place to sleep for the night. :)

Interests

Things I want to do before I die or if I don't whatever:
- Bungee Jumping (I'm terrified of heights so don't ask me why I want to do this Lol!)
- Camp in the Dolomites Mountains in Italy
- Learn Italian fluently
- Live in a car-free-zone city for at least four months
- Ride a camel in the dessert
