About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Join the Circus and go south!

ABOUT ME

Im happiest outside, in the sun. My people made me and maintain me. I love a good food, good talk, good music, good people. I have traveled alot in my life but only now am I discovering the life of a traveler who never finishes traveling and falling in love with this way of life. Its important to me to give back to my hosts!

PHILOSOPHY

We have too many options in life to every allow ourselves to feel stuck. There is always another way if this one doesn´t feel right. Exploration teaches you how to make yourself happy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Because I´m on the road I cant currently host but I am constantly meeting with my fellow travelers, sharing stories and advice.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Accepting surfers has been a way to remember what it was like to be a traveler when I´ve felt trapped in my routine. I´ve learned that the best way to recieve is to give, everything is circular. When I surf it teaches me how to be a better host and makes me more and more excited for the chance to give back.

Interests

Mountains and rivers, home-cooking and sweets, jokes, campfires and scary stories. Yoga and meditation. I study the environment and I think gardens could save the world. Juggling, hoolahooping, acrobatics.
