About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live a well traveled life

ABOUT ME

For about 5 years altogether (2012-2017), I will be living and studying in 10-12 countries. I love jamming, wandering around, teaching English, teaching yoga, painting, grabbing a drink, going for a walk or bike ride, and trying new things. My favorite thing about traveling has been meeting new people, so feel free to message me :)

PHILOSOPHY

A life traveled is a life lived.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'll be in Berlin until January, volunteering, studying, derping, learning and exploring.

I can't host at the moment, but I am happy to meet other Couch Surfers in Berlin! When I was last in Berlin and Hamburg I used this to make a ton of friends and go on many adventures :-)

At the moment my traveling is fast paced but wherever I am I always take part in CS meet ups. Not like its a chore. They are always the highlight of my travels. I taught free CS Yoga Classes in the parks of Hamburg, for instance, and my summer in Germany was filled with many many CS friends and adventures. Missing all of those lovely friends greatly!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I surfed in Rio de Janeiro, Washington D.C, and all over Germany for a few months.

Met tons of dear friends in Hamburg and Berlin especially !

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Stories like these are better in person

What I Can Share with Hosts

I almost always travel with either my guitar or my violin, so some nice musical jam sesh's / lil concerts. I also study languages and would love to exchange the knowledge. I have usually an endless amount of energy and am down for anything, yet I also like to have calm moments and understand when I'm not wanted.
