About Me

Hey!

Friendly traveller in this weird world, love meeting genuine people, sharing stories, exploring together.... all that good stuff.

In April I start a volunteer role in Lebanon, and I have a little time to visit some friends in Holland, Denmark and Germany. On the way, I also have a chance to make some new friends!

If you host me, we can cook, laugh, explore, go to museums, do outdoor activities, have drinks, dance... whatever suits you. I love sharing stories and learning how other people live their lives. If you have time, we can go explore somewhere together, or I'm also fine entertaining myself.

Big hug!

Covid safety: I’m double vaccinated and boosted. I have many antigen tests with me. I’m happy to take one close to arriving with you, and I’ll also be taking them as I cross borders :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing because I want to meet other open minded and passionate people and share a little of this brief life with each other.
