Hey!

I am spending some months in Colombia and Mexico this summer. I would love to practice my Spanish and even more excited to learn Salsa and Bachata dancing whilst being here! I am a big lover of literature, history, poetry and politics.

Mostly, I love meeting new people! Let's grab a coffee and exchange cultures, stories and adventures! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love using Couchsurfing to meet interesting people, who are just as hungry for life as I am!

Traveling and exploring new places is amazing. Nevertheless, what is even better, is getting an authentic taste of the city you're visiting by meeting the people. Having a local as a host who is willing to give me a glimpse of what it actually feels like to live there, and show me around the best and hidden gems of their city, is what I am wishing for.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am always reading! Mostly, philosophy, poetry, history or about socio-political issues. Love to discover some beautiful bookshops/café's

You will find me in the crowd of any Spoken Word event - absolute love it!

I also aim to live as (environmentally, spiritually, communal) conscious and aware as possible, I try to keep learning and researching more about all the different ways we effect this beautiful globe with our mostly unhealthy habits.

So, in short ;) ; I love everything that grows my knowledge and gives me a different perspective on things!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

God, many things! I see amazement in everything, but we should just exchange stories about that together!

Teach, Learn, Share

I loveeeee cooking! Even more so while traveling, there is nothing that beats a home cooked traditional meal! I love to learn all the delicious recipes wherever I am staying. I love to cook myself, I will surely make us some yummy healthy vegan meals! ;)) 🌱

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my enthusiasm for life with you ;))!

I personally don't want to just see the world. I want to participate in it. So, with whatever I can help, I am more than willing to do so! :)

I can also teach you some self-defence technics! (I followed Krav Maga classes, loved it! Recommend it to everyone!)
