27YO female, I travel as much as i can to continue to challenge myself and learn as much as i can about other cultures, and different world and life perspectives.
"You are a product of your environment" so why not change it and become your own product, take the best out of each environment you experience.
I am outgoing and eager to try anything life can throw at me!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe couchsurfing is a great chance to hang out with people from all walks of life and that we can all learn and grow from each other.
I have recently quit my job and am on a self discovery journey for 2 years plus, where i aim to travel central and south America, learn Spanish, meet lots of different people, hopefully become a scuba dive instructor, do some Woofing and live in a different culture for a period of time.
Once i have settled somewhere i would love to share my knowledge of my new home with other travellers, as soon as I have the means to I'm excited to host!
