About Me

I'm probably just like you - my biggest passion in life is travel and I want to see as much of this world as I can. I love everything about travel; incredible sights, having real adventures, great lessons in history, culture and economy, tasting new foods & drinks, live music, and of course meeting awesome people and making great memories! Life is about the memories.

My first experiences with CS were in 2016 during a 3-month road trip I did throughout the United States with one of my best friends. We had the coolest hosts and got to know the cities we visited so much better because of them, as well as had hilarious times and made real long-lasting friendships.

Now that I'm working as an au pair in France, I want to continue couch surfing and meet some awesome Europeans that can help me learn about their cities :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One of my best friend's has been hosting couch surfers for over 5 years and I've met so many amazing and interesting people through him that I just had to try it myself!

P.s. Some of my couch surfing experiences were booked through my friends' profiles, hence the limited references.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Became maybe the oldest au pair in the world at age 29 haha, because I wanted to and don't care what people think about age or whatever.
