About Me

I'm a 24 year old earthling who loves to focus on the things that matter: family, friends and using every opportunity to travel.
I have dreads, tattoos and a free spirit.

Studied - College course "tourism with business" but after a year I opted out of college as the structure was not for me.

Right now I spend my times as a photographer, filmmaker and YouTuber. YouTube is the best place to see who and how I am. I treat these as a hobby and make sure to share my authentic self 😄

I love to cook vegan (but I'm not a activist or preacher)
In my spare time I read, hike, try new DIY projects, game and do anything and everything creative.

Currently I live with my parents. At home I indulge in reading, yoga, meditation and jamming out to music (the hippier the better)

Recently purchased a 4x4, that I am converting to a overloader/home on wheels.

I love meeting new people and finding out their story.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to offer someone a place to sleep, in hope that someone will offer me one :)

Interests

I love all things creative!

I dance, draw, write, crystal wrap, tattoo, photograph, read plenty of books, go on hikes, drink litres of tea and everything in between.

Music, Movies, and Books

I watch a lot of movies, my current favourites are Lord of the Rings, The last samurai, Arrival, Her and Marvel.

Book wise; I read a lot.
From fiction to foraging, self help and ancient texts.
My fave category right is self help. Ask me about my faves :)

Fun fact, I spend 7hrs at a festival making an instrument at a blacksmith. I can't play it, but that's not important 😂

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- Belly flopped in front of 3 thousand people....

- I also spend 5 weeks (solo) backpacking Europe in the summer of 2019.
5 festivals
6 countries
1000's of photos
So many new friends

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach nearly anything that involves a computer - Adobe / Microsoft suite or just regular windows stuff. I read up on tech weekly and very involved in the community.

I am a great Vegan cook and can easily teach you dozens of Amazing recipes!

I am very knowledgeable and research on many things - fitness, spirituality, history, cultures, psychology, travel, current affairs, etc

I'm a bit of a nerd when it gets to coffee. I love it, love the variance of beans, love using different brewers and seeing people's face after they have a truly great cup of black.

P:S/ I am open to the many wonders that the world has to offer :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

- A no fuss experience, I don't ask for much.
I've slept in hammock, cars, tents with no mattresses... So, a roof over my head will make my day.

- Trust, I will follow all house rules.

- New skills: photo taking - wood chopping - computer witchcraft - painting furniture - crystal wrapping - fire starting and cooking

With the state of things right now, I know how hard it is to trust people nowadays. This is why I try to be as honest and transparent with all my social media platforms. Please connect with me on Instagram, YouTube, Facebook or Discord.

I've been sober since 2018, and never had a drug problem or the need for rehab. I've gotten into spirituality and try to live my life through being present and ahimsa (the compassion for all living things)
