About Me

My bestfriend describes me as an ambitious, sincere, and outgoing socialite. I would only that I am terribly afflicted by the travelbug and have been consumed by wanderlust. My day job fuels my inner child's desire explore and travel the world.

I'm planning to go on a trip next year which will hopefully take me to South America, Africa, the Middle East, Europe and North America!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have previously informally hosted friends and acquaintances, from other countries, on various occasions, and genuinely found a great sense of joy in doing so. As such, I'm simply following what drives my passion and making it official. I would also love to meet likeminded individuals and live vicariously through them!

Also, I'm planning a 'Round The World' trip for 2019, so any goodwill or connections to aid finding couches would be much appreciated!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Admired the northern lights in the desolate north of Iceland, in a hot tub.

Slept under the milky way in the Sahara desert.

Watched a beautiful sunrise on the fabled Mount Sinai.

Descended alone into a bat cave, got lost, and lived to tell the tale.

Swandived into the rolling green hills of Monte Verde; Costa Rica, and plunged 146 meters.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: poorly coordinated dance moves; shoddy painting skills; questionable facts; and things about life.

Learn: I would love to practice French and learn Spanish and German; and learn about your worldly views and commentaries on life (it goes both ways).

Share: a drink or two, or five, over great conversation; tips for travel; new experiences; some pseudo-legal, if you really need.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My stories, experiences, great company, good laughs, any food I have to offer!
