An active nature and animal lover. I enjoy challenging myself both mentally and physically.

50% active and sporty - hiking, walking, gym, swimming, cycling, running, roadtrips and boardgames.
50% committed hedonist - great food, curling up with a book, love a good night sleep, soaking in the sun, cuddling pets, watching movies.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I crave a more simple and minimalistic life, less comfort, more meaning. I love staying with local people when travelling, share our stories, get advice about the country/city that I as a foreigner would not know otherwise. The best local cafe, the coolest gym, a stand up comedian to check out or a concert to see. Where to wander around safely and from where to keep away. The most amazing views and secret spots.
I want to see it all!

I would LOVE TO MEET PEOPLE, who have done solo travelling and get their experiences!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

At the age of 19 I participated in a Brittish Outdoor Swimming Society event. Water - 18 degrees, air - 16. I couldn't complete the whole distance (2 miles) as my fingertips started turning blue after a mile, but still - such a cool experience.

At the age of 32 I competed in World Winter Swimming Championships - I did 6 individual events and one team event, where we got bronze medal in our age group.

Teach, Learn, Share

I dream about having my own farm with animals and growing my own food - i would like to learn more skills when it comes to sustainable living.

I am quite comfortable with cooking so if you'd like to cook together or I could even teach you some of my favourite recipes if you're interested!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love cooking, so I'm always happy to share great conversations and travel stories over some good soulfood :) I can be a great companion for a workout, walk or for drinks. Anything active I'm always up for, be it cycling around town or paddle boarding.

As a big animal lover I can take your dog for a walk, play with them or even pet sit if needed.

I don't mind getting my hands dirty, so if you need some help in the garden I'm happy to help!
