About Me

Friendly, I like travelling slow, live 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 club/beach/park bench.

Weighing less than 50kg so I won't wreck your couch ;)

I like music and don't really watch tv, enjoy a drink but I'm not really a partier. 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 weirder the conversation the better :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’ve lived and travelled abroad with the help of so many lovely 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 almost the most interesting part of a place! I love to play host in the beautiful places I live, and hope that there's some like-minded folk out there willing to do the same for me!

Music, Movies, and Books

Not really one for TV or movies. I love folk music, world music, electro swing, gypsy jazz, salsa, reggaeton, most things eclectic. I'm generally reading a historical novel slong with 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 love to share a meal. If we could cook together or I could cook for you that would be great :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'll always show up with a bottle of wine at some point, and I love to cook!
