About Me

I like travelling slow, in fact I barely move once I arrive, just allowing a new place to wash over me. I love to meet new people. I want to see what you love about your part of the world and not what tourist attractions there are. Let's go to your favourite restaurant/cafe/dance/beach/park bench and talk about life.

I love music and dance of any kind. I don't really watch tv, i don’t drink or smoke. I love nature and hiking. I'm curious about your culture and what you think of the world. I want to know what your personal ethos is and what you’re working on with yourself and the people around you. The wilder and deeper the conversation the better :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’ve lived and travelled abroad with the help of so many people from the CS community. I realized that it's hard to get a sense of a place as a tourist or a newcomer, it can take years to find those hidden away gems in cities, the most beautiful hikes, the best activities. But mostly, to discover how the people live is impossible from a hostel or hotel and the people are always the most interesting part of a place!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love folk music, world music, electro swing, gypsy jazz, salsa, reggaeton, most things eclectic. I'm generally reading a historical novel or something non-fiction.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Rode horses up a mountain in Iceland to swim in a hot river.

Teach, Learn, Share

I don’t get much opportunity to speak Spanish these days, would be great to chat or teach you something if you’re learning that language.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Curiosity about your life and a home cooked meal.
