Hi all, my name is Joanna and I am from the UK 🇬🇧

Back in January 2019, I quit my job and sold all my belongings to finally pursue my dream of travelling full time! Since then I have completed an Adventure Guide Internship in New Zealand, worked as a camp counsellor/hiking lead in Canada, road tripped on a motorcycle around Indonesia, wandered streets of China, lived a vanlife in America, explored the driest place on earth - Atacama Desert in Chile, hitchiked through Argentina, lived like a local in Ecuador, climbed and summited many many mountains, met many soul mates and have had a time of my life, jumped on a cargo boat for 5 day journey across the Peruvian jungle and many many more!

I have now traveled to almost all South American countries so I am heading towards Central America now, with Panama being my first stop! So excited for Central America 🌞

I absolutely love travelling and I am so blessed to have been living this beautiful life. I love couch surfing as I get to meet many beautiful people that I always connect with and stay in touch forever! I look forward to meeting you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The people I have met whilst travelling are among the best people I have ever met in my entire life, couchsurfing is one of the best way to meet people whilst travelling and make those connections. I love to meet locals (or simply people that live there) and get to know them, as well as stay at a home sometimes which makes a nice difference from a busy hostels! It is a great grounding experience to be able to stay at home with another person or people and it is an experience that as a full time traveller I crave sometimes!
