CURRENT MISSION

My Mission?...World Peace, ideally. For now this means that I live in the moment as best as I can and go about exploring new cultures and customs. Traveling opens my eyes time and again and with this new broadened horizon and the stories I get to tell I hope to inspire others to open their doors and step out of their comfort zone too. Maybe one day there will be no more fences, walls and boundaries separating us..it's a small hope, but it does persist!

ABOUT ME

I am an easy-going, creative and loving 28 year old, who loves to explore, travel and try new things! I'm a genuine Yay-sayer and will only refuse few things in life. These include (but are not limited to): kicking puppies, dumping rubbish in the wild, bullying and eating greasy food at 3am. Just kidding, I love eating rubbish food at 3am!

I also love reading (novels, biographies, poetry and self-help books - though I usually give up on those after chapter 2), listening to music, knitting, vegan cooking, writing, walking, day-dreaming, photography, yoga, spirituality and all things in between!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couch Surfing is a brilliant way to meet new, interesting people and get a better insight into other cultures - their customs, traditions and cuisine. It also enables me to travel for longer periods than when staying in hostels, which is great! :) I might even make some life-long friends!

Interests

I am hoping to one day open my own eco-friendly, (mostly) self-sustained, creative hostel and am interested in learning as much as I can about sustainability, permaculture, eco-faming etc. I am spiritually inclined (though sometimes confused) and try to live as consciously and mindfully as possible.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Passing the Thorong La Pass in the Annapurna Region in Nepal, which was at 5416 metres above sea level.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some Yoga, breathing techniques, photography and cooking: by having lived in a few different places so far I can share my knowledge about different customs and traditional food. I'm a pretty decent cook so I'm happy to cook you some vegan meals!
People tell me I'm fun to hang out with so I'm just going to leave that here..
