About Me

I'm a free spirit with a lot of curiosity towards other people, places, cultures and opinions. I love to learn and share my own experience, especially with anything related to life and traveling.

I'm on Couchsurfing because being a solo traveler can come with a lot of loneliness, so I love having the opportunity to connect with people on the way. I haven't had the chance to host yet since I'm always on the run, but I will be pleased to give travel tips to anyone who wants to travel in Canada, especially in Quebec city!

I've been to many places and will continue traveling full time! I've tried different ways to do so (volunteering, Couchsurfing, roadtripping, Workaway, studying abroad, backpacking, etc.) but I'm working hard on finding the perfect balance between having a positive impact, see the world and work! Being rich is not something I'm interested in, I've adopted a very low expenses and minimalist lifestyle that makes me much happier and healthier, and since then I'm almost never stressed ;)

Always up for a hangout, please don't be afraid to reach out to me!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Travelling alone is great, but it's always nice to have some company and make new friends along the way :) I'd much rather spend some time conversating with a stranger than being all by myself in a private hotel room, probably watching movies haha. I have also travelled to quite some places now, so I can also give great tips if you're planning a trip somewhere ;)

Interests

I have many hobbies, such as ukulele, cooking, photography, sightseeing, etc. I'm always interested in learning new things and trying new stuff! If you know some food or drink I should absolutely try, please let me know :D

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've lived almost 2 years in the Peruvian jungle! I was volunteering for a Canadian NGO and working with university students and small businesses as an Advisor in Tourism Marketing. It was such an empowering experience and I really feel that I was able to help people in an impactful way!

I've also left on a roadtrip across Canada/US by myself for two months, without any plan or itinerary! It was hard and challenging, but such an amazing journey :)

Teach, Learn, Share

If you have a small business, a project or an idea, I'd be happy to do some brainstorming with you :) I can also help practice your French/Spanish if you'd like too.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share funny stories, great food (I can absolutely cook for/with you!), and good vibes. If you like music, we can also jam (I'm not SUPER good at the uke, but I sure like to play it and sing along). If you need someone to talk about life or anything really, I'm a pretty damn good listener :)
