About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Try something new every day.

ABOUT ME

I am a friendly and open person who enjoys good conversation. I really enjoy meeting new people and discussing life and unique travel experiences. I'm someone who focuses a lot on my family and who appreciates a nice drink. 🍻

PHILOSOPHY

Always try to find the golden ticket at the bottom of an empty bottle!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have surfed on 5 or 6 different couches and have even gone back a second time to some memorable hosts (unfortunately not all the awesome people I've met!).

I look forward to hosting sometime in the near future now that I have moved to the UK.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far I have surfed with a few great hosts in France, Portugal & Spain. It has been fantastic to participate in everyday life with my hosts and it is by far the best way to travel :) The CS community is full of great and interesting people who truly care about the exchanges they have, and that is why I'm very happy to have found this community.

The way I view CS is that it is the opportunity to meet people you would not have otherwise had the chance to meet, but who you should hang out with. I hope to continue to share unique memories with the people of the CS community.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A really neat experience I've had is to be apart of an international football team. At my uni in Limoges, France, we were 11 people from 7 different countries. It was a little crazy in the beginning with all the clashing styles of play, but we have a really incredible group of guys, and it's been so neat to be apart of the team.

Surfing on the west coast of Ireland!

Hiking through Campo do Gerês national park in northern Portugal.
