I have been solo traveling for about 3 years on and off, never staying in one country for more than a year. I don't like letting grass grow under my feet!

I moved to Japan after graduating university and taught English for a few months, then backpacked for 6 months, hitchhiking and camping in public parks to make the money stretch! I lived in Costa Rica for ~5 months and learned how to surf - my new favorite sport! I've done workaways in Japan, Costa Rica, and the US, it's my favorite way to travel.

I'm a lifelong learner, so I really value experiences over material things, and the only thing better than solo experiences is getting to experience things with another person and growing a connection :)

I've just started couchsurfing using the app, but I've been couch surfing since way back :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I usually do workaways and farmstays while i travel, and I always have amazing experiences meeting locals and living in non-touristy areas. I love meeting new people and learning from them, and the community aspect at workaways always encourages this. I want to try couch surfing because it's a way to visit places short-term and have a similar experience!

Interests

I am always trying to learn new skills, and i love being active, so I like trying new sports and outdoors activities! I especially love being in nature, so backpacking and overnight hikes are some of my favorite ways to experience nature and disconnect from the world!

I also love doing farmstays when I travel, and so far I've worked with dairy cows, chickens, bunnies, alpacas, horses, goats, and even a wild boar!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Backpacked Japan on the cheap! Hitchhiked, camped, and trekked my way around! I'd love to share stories and photos :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I love languages, I'm conversational in Japanese and Spanish, and I'm just starting to learn Hungarian. I want to learn as many languages as possible! I would love to teach you and learn from you :)

I also love to learn about the culture of the places I visit, so having authentic food, experiences, and meeting local people is very valuable to me!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am super flexible and easy-going! I'm happy to help with any house projects you may have and try to lend a hand, I know a bit about how to fix things! I am happy to accommodate you: if you are looking for someone to hike with or share a meal with, I'm there! If you'd rather I be independent while you work/attend school, I'll go explore on my own. I unusually wake up by 9 (i can be up earlier though) and spend the whole day out of my accommodation.

I'm working remotely right now , so I'll spend most weekdays in a café on my laptop.
