Overview
About Me
I value authenticity, honesty, compassion, courage, openmindedness, curiosity and kindness.
I love constantly learning new things and especially learning about how to be a better, kinder human. I try to do all things with love.
I'm into health and do lots of sports, mainly bouldering, yoga and running but I also try new things, like recently I started Krav Maga. I'm also a climate justice and animal rights activist, because I feel the need to stand up against injustice even if it's not directed at me personally. I've organised a few big events, held workshops in different cities/countries and so on so this also takes up some of my free time.
Exploring is my favourite thing and even though I'm often busy I constantly come back to it in some way. I love getting lost in places I've never been to before, because being lost means you could go anywhere from that point on.
Another thing I'm really grateful for or happy with is that I've recently been dedicating more time to art, like drawing, singing and writing poetry, all of which I adore.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I think I'm high on the extrovert scale, I get my energy from being with people so I'd much rather stay with someone who I can connect with than stay in a hotel room by myself. Plus staying with locals is just more of a meaningful way to travel in my opinion, you learn so much more!
Interests
Art of all kinds, new places, new life lessons, sustainable and zero waste living, nature, mountains, the ocean, hugging dogs, cows or pigs, genuine connection.

Music, Movies, and Books
I like a good mix of old and new music. I love chill Indie music.
I don't ever really watch TV because I prefer to either be working and/or outside, learn, grow, and be productive. BUT I adore documentaries, especially ones about this planet, about nature (especially the ocean), different countries, cultures and ethics.
When I read books they're mainly about self improvement, I'm not a big novel reader at this point in my life as I've been quite happy just living my own stories! I also love reading poetry.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Moved to Australia on the basis of a days-old relationship - the relationship failed of course but everything else fell into place.
Teach, Learn, Share
Stories stories stories.
What I Can Share with Hosts
Positive vibes, thoughtful conversations and someone to share good (vegan) food with :P I'm open-minded and will be genuinely interested in listening to your opinions about the world and people.
I also work at a restaurant where I bake all the cakes so I probably have a few fairly good cake recipes I could bake for you!
