ABOUT ME

After five years of working all sort of odd jobs, corporate jobs, boring jobs and stupid ones, after living in three different cities in two different continents, after travelling alone, with friends, in style, as a bum, after all these years of soulsearching and roaming the earth, I finally figured out who I am. So now I'm in the process of fine tuning my travels to suit my needs and philosophy: I hitchhike, I barter my skills in exchange for the things I need, I do craftwork and swing poi, and I'm learning all things sustainability and permaculture so I can live like that when I'm all grown up.

PHILOSOPHY

Learn, love, share, inspire, be thankful.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I love connecting with people, there's a different feel to a new place if you're sharing it with actual people and not just aimlessly hopping from one touristy spot to another.

Interests

I'm into travelling, listening to people share their stories, all forms of creative expression, languages, and saving the world :)

• cooking
• coffee
• traveling
• languages
• beaches

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was little I saw a killer whale approach the shore to eat a baby seal that was chilling right there. I was 6 feet away from the seal. I held my breath in terror for the longest second of my life. The seal saw the whale and ran for its life-quite literally- it was all very impressive, and luckily for me, not at all traumatic.
Had a new year's eve with -10° and snow all around, and also a new year's eve with 30°, chilling at the beach.
I got to cross the Panama Canal.
I've been to Mayan, Roman, and Native American ruins.
And last but not least, I dared to ride on a merry go round at age 23.

Teach, Learn, Share

Let's see: I can teach English and Spanish. I can teach how to cook a few good meals, how to make dream catchers and braid bracelets; and I can teach you how to dare to do anything.

And I want to learn pretty much everything that comes my way :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories, coffee and cigarrettes :)

Also, I'm a kickass housekeeper and can get your kitchen squeaky clean in a half an hour.
