About Me

My partner Inanna and I like exploring beautiful landscapes. Wildlife, music, fresh air, people inspire us.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Through couchsurfing we've met life-long friends, and some of them have even come to visit us in Canada! We love how couchsurfing reminds us that humans are better beings when we create a reciprocal gifting world together. As a guest I love to offer my photography, worldview, helping hands, and friendship. And now we are living in a house where we can start hosting guests, which we are excited to do!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first couchsurfing experience was on the island Syros in Greece and I was only planning in staying for a few days but I had so much fun there with our hosts that after leaving to Mykonos I came back and stayed for another week! I met such amazing people that I never would have met and saw some beautiful places, and learned a lot about the Greek political situation and how I could help even just as a traveler... Thanks to couchsurfing, Syros felt like home for those days, and still does!

Interests

Photography is my life passion. Activism is what keeps me hopeful and among good people. I love playing music, mostly guitar sometimes clarinet. I am an aspiring journalist too!
