About Me

If it involves a swimsuit, my answer is yes! I love spending time in, on and near the water. I was traveling the world for about 9 moths and am now staying in Kuta, Lombok, Indonesia indefinitely. I'd love to show you around my new home - we can surf, chase waterfalls, drink beers on the beach. It is paradise here!

When I am not exploring new cities you can find me practicing yoga, hiking, biking or of course swimming/sailing/surfing/wakeboarding/kayaking or just drinking wine on the beach.

When I am in cities I like to check out art galleries, bars, nightlife etc. Although I am very into yoga and meditation I can turn it up and party too! I like my travels to be well balanced though and a mix of nature, city/culture exploration and nightlife experiences.

After working for three tech start-ups back-to-back in Los Angeles & San Francisco, I decided it was time to take a break and see the world. I am looking forward to fellow couch surfers shaping my big adventure!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I recently quit my job to travel and see more of the world! I kicked off my big adventure by living on a fellow couch surfer's yacht and sailing around Croatia with him and another couch surfer for 3 weeks. It was the experience of a lifetime!!!

I also just spent 3 days in Brussels at a conference hosted by the Dalai Lama and could spend a whole 3 days, if not more, talking about it :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a certified yoga instructor and would love to practice with you!

Let's share an adventure and then grab a good meal and/or drink after.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Sharing is caring! Life stories, adventures, good times, meals more than happy to help with chores etc.

Countries I’ve Visited

Aruba, Canada, Croatia, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, India, Indonesia, Mexico, Nepal, Netherlands, Spain, Sri Lanka, Thailand
