I'm open minded and love to travel and learn about other cultures. I want to stay with locals to see their pace of life. I love sharing recipes and cooking for others.

I am mostly traveling with my husband, Adrian. He is Romanian and speaks Romanian, Italian, English, Portuguese, Spanish and learning Arabic. He is easy to get along with, loves language, comedy and music.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I use to host while I lived in Viterbo, Italy. Currently, in Portland, Oregon, I don't have space to host.

I've only have had great and perfect experiences while surfing. Some of my greatest friends are made while traveling. I want to continue to have friends all over the world and reconnect over time.

Teach, Learn, Share

Cooking is a social activity for me. I love to share recipes, cook along side others, and eat together. I eat a vegan/plant-based diet and would love to share recipes and/or prepare food for you!

Adrian loves languages and will likely be trying to learn as much language as possible. If you are interested in learning any of the languages we speak we are both patient teachers.

I love to begin my day with meditation. If you're into that, I'd love to share, teach or learn.
