About Me

Travelling by car in Spain/France/Italy and Slovenia this summer 2018 with my sweet dog Kali!

After living 6 years in Australia, one year traveling in Asia, one year living in Paris and the French countryside, I am now living in Granada, Andalucia, Spain but usually travel around Europe in summer!

ABOUT US

Love new experiences, learning new things, random situations, meeting and sharing with great people, getting some new skills!

Love revelling in the arts and trying plenty of activities: hiking, bush walking, surfing, kayaking, yoga, belly dancing, painting, mosaics, photography, cooking healthy veggie goodness etc.

PHILOSOPHY

Live in the Here and Now! Go with the Flow! Do what you love and let it kill you! Hakuna Matata!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Had a few couchsurfers staying with me in Adelaide, Australia, met great people and had an awesome time!
Been couchsurfing in Europe, mostly in Spain in the last few years and had incredible experiences with every hosts!

Interests

Enjoying new activities and being surrounded by the people I love! Travelling, being on the road, constantly changing patterns and cycles and exploring time & space .....
Very interested in learning about permaculture, getting my hands in the dirt, visiting farms and communities to learn about sustainable living, ecohomes, earthships, observing nature and its ecosystems ... still living close to the city though so it's a long term project!
