About Me

I recently experienced my pre-mid-life crisis which has proven thus far to be the most fulfilling year of my life. I recently left my 9-5 job as an Architect and decided to move to another country to get my Master's degree, where I am currently studying Housing & Urbanism in London.

Although I'm told I come off as shy initially, I'm a very open and accepting person.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The older I get, the more introverted my world feels. I have learned so much from the people around me. I want to broaden that network and give back when I can.

Life gets a bit boring when you are not inspired and challenged by the world around you. I love to hear people's stories and view the world from their perspective. Additionally, I thrive on those moments when your faith in humanity can be restored.

Interests

I have a love hate relationship with city and rural life. I haven't found the balance. I could spend days just walking around new cities looking at architecture. When I'm stuck inside, I love cooking, baking, and making things.... anything. I'm also pretty good with power tools.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Left my job, gave away most of my possessions, sold my house, and left my country to start a new chapter... That's pretty much on par with hiking down the Grand Canyon and paragliding in Rio.

Teach, Learn, Share

Good words to live by!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I will happily cook for you, although I may struggle with the carnivorous meals. I am a good listener (Pisces), I can teach you some dance moves, help with any future architectural projects, or simply provide you with good company :)
