About Me

What I’m doing lately:
I don’t have a home base at the moment. Since march I’ve been volunteering for humanitarian and environmental NGOs in Malta and Sicily. I spent most of my time in shipyards or at sea. In between the working periods I enjoy exploring the areas around, traveling in a simple way (mostly hitchhiking, sleeping outdoors, at friends places or meeting new people at Couchsurfing). Afterwards I spent a couple of months working as a windsurfinstructor on a small island in the Baltic Sea.
Currently I’m volunteering in a Workawayproject in Tagounite, Morocco with my boyfriend Simon. We’ve already spent around 1 1/2 months in Morocco.

About me:
I’m an outdoor education trainer. I’m working with groups of mostly children and teenagers on their social and team building skills, teaching them about nature and supporting their personal development.

Generally speaking I’m not into long term planning. I much more prefer spontaneous activities, without having too many expectations.
I’d describe myself as open minded, calm and easy going person. I enjoy meeting new people, learning foreign languages, exploring new places and participating in all kinds of sports (dancing, (acro)yoga, swimming, surfing, climbing...).
One of my favourite activities is experimenting with (vegan) cooking and of course celebrating good food!
I love spending time in nature (mushroom picking in the woods) and going on hikes or camping trips. A couple of years ago I taught myself to play the guitar. I am a huge fan of jamming together.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For me it's an exciting way to travel, meet locals and share experiences!
