About Me

Love to learn about new cultures, improve my knowledge of languages (mainly German and Spanish) and share good times with friends...
Currently transitioning careers, and trying to find a job that is in line with my passion for the outdoors!

My first experience of travelling outside of my country was going to England to see my family or going over to Canada to cross the Rockies and visit family in Edmonton.
I have very fond memories of travelling through the Rockies, which is 1 of the reasons why I'm now living in Canada, though I'm not quite as close to the Rockies yet...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I had a lot of great experiences so far as my former housemate and best friend (Abhi) is also part of this community and invited probably around 50 to 100 couchsurfers over.
It's a good way of meeting new people and learning particularities about other countries and learning more about oneself!
