About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To continue travelling while cultivating a deeper understanding of the cultures of the countries and towns that I visit. I want to live like a local and get to know the true people that make each new place I visit so special and unique. I want to make friends with people from all walks of life and exchange stories and experiences and food and memories along the way.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that you always end up where you're meant to be, even if it's not where you intended to go. I believe that if you do good, good will come back around and there is something good in all of us. Good energy attracts good energy.

ABOUT ME

Four years ago, after finishing University I set off to travel Central America for six months. I let the universe guide me and those six months have turned into four incredible years of adventures, learning, growth, self discovery, cultivating friendships and beautiful experiences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new friends from all over the world while I wander on my own.
I haven't hosted or surfed yet but I am excited to start!

Interests

I love to be outdoors, hiking, swimming, picnics or just walking around a new town. Nature brings me peace. I like to read and write to express myself. I love discovering new music. I really enjoy cooking, I'm no professional chef but I love trying new recipes or keeping it simple with a love of veggies! I've recently developed an interest in photography and videography, hoping to better document my travels from this point forward. Always learning and growing. The only direction is forward.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm happy to cook and eat with you and exchange stories of travels and life 😊 I can teach or practice English with you and am always looking to improve my Spanish. I'm interested in learning more this year about yoga and mediation and connecting more with myself. I'm also interested in permaculture and trying to be more ecologically aware.
