About Me

I dream of becoming an architect and build green tree houses made of recycled materials for the people who don't have a chance to have a roof on their head. I want to sail around the world and work on great projects to make the world better.

But that's only in my head, for now.

I used to study fashion design but did not like it because everything was about making money. I started a blog on second hand clothing to show people how amazing life can be without even spending money.
I wish that one day I'll organize a fashion show where I will style outfits made from second hand clothes, worn by homeless people.

I used to dream about going to Africa to work and help on a project. Last summer (2016), I spent three months working with child workers, teaching them about environmentals issues and how they could help.

I like taking photos. I don't think I'm good but I'm working on that. I also like to write. I wanna become vegan, and zero waste. I want to discover the world and its people.

So yeah, that's a little bit about me. I guess there will be more to know if I end up on your couch.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe that couchsurfing is about discovering the people in the places you're visiting. It is about learning and teaching. I don't know what yet, but yeah. And it is about sharing, a couch or a bottle of wine or more, even a friendship, but still sharing moments.

I am on couchsurfing because all that, and become I find it fun. You never know where you'll end up.
