About Me

I live with my girlfriend Jenna-Rose from New Zealand. We are active, love the outdoors; playing sport, doing yoga and hiking. We enjoy cooking at home (mostly plant based), doing mediation, playing music, art, dance and being creative.

We have both done our share of travelling and have been kindly hosted by others.

We are happy to chat and hang out and share some travel adventures, but will also be doing our own thing.

Our home is on the fringe of Lisbon about 20min drive to downtown.
We prefer shorter notice requests (2 weeks+/- or less)

I had 9 to 5 job, house, relationship. Call it life if you want. I left everything bought a one way ticket to Bali September 2019. I went to Aotearoa for 2 months and ended up being a year and a half. I have been on a journey, learning about myself and the world around me.
I am a easy going person.
Passionate about meaningful experiences and connections.
I like nature and I am interested in regenerative systems, permaculture, sustainability, plants, Maori culture, spirituality and would like to do more drawing, painting.
Thank you for reading 😊

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Giving back to the community. When I travel I want to see the country's essence and not what is made for the tourists. I think the best way to do this is through people.

Interests

I like somethings but what I like the most is to discover new interests

  • arts
  • culture
  • dancing
  • traveling
  • music
  • hiking
  • history
  • people

Music, Movies, and Books

I love music and dance. A big variety of genre and love when others share "new" good music. I am travelling with my instrument but I am a bit shy to play it around others 😅

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Getting out of my confort zone. Don't let fear control my life.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am open minded person. Available to learn from others. Hear their opinion so I can enrich mine. Mostly I like to hear because when I talk I am listening to something I already know. But when I listen to others I might learn something new.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Could be cooking, sharing my experiences and knowledge, whatever suits us in the moment.
