About Me

Hello, guys! Same as all of you on Couchsurfing, I am definitely a travelholic!

[2023-2024] Taking a year off to explore the world (it’s never too much haha)! Last fall I spent 3 months in east and South Africa - and it has been one of the best experiences. Living off a truck and tents with a group of travellers from all over the globe. Then I did the Camino Francés (800km) and currently travelling with my partner through Central Europe and the balkans. We are both adventurous and love to meet fellow travellers and locals, to share a laugh, exchange perspectives and have fun together!! As for our last month of travelling, we will be spending time in Istanbul with 2 short trips to Kuwait and North Cyprus.

[2018-2019] I’m currently taking a gap year! I have just finished a semester-exchange program in Monterrey, Mexico 🇲🇽! And i now travelling in South America, hoping to learn more spanish, meet more people!! I am semi introvert, but once the conservation begins I cant stop talking. I would love to learn different people's life philosophy, hosting/ travel stories and more!!!

I started solo travelling 2 years ago after my graduation from high school and fell in love with "uncertainties" and "cultural shock" in travel journies.

I am a big fan of trekking and hiking (esp. volcanoes and high mountains) even tho I am not that fit. But hiking is always more of a mental thing!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The reason is simple! Because "travelling like a local, meeting locals" is always the best way to experience a country!!
