Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To connect with people from all over the world, let's meet up!
To leave my fingerprint in the most places as possible! To understand different spaces through the lens of that culture and society. To live a full life focused on meaningful connections and aventure.
ABOUT ME
I've been a couch surfer ever since my first parent-free Europe trip at the 19 years old, and oh boy! It was wild. This experience completely changed my view of traveling. I've been on-the-go a few weeks a year ever since. I love that feeling of being in the present moment, doing or seeing something totally unfamiliar. A part form that, I just received my bachelors in Communications and I'm in the process every new graduate goes through: finding a ''real'' job. But I keeping my eyes peeled on fun innovative projects, I enjoy working for artistic companies and being creative.
I am a spiritual, plant based, artistic person. Photography, film, food, let's talk about anything!
PHILOSOPHY
What would you do today, if you knew you couldn't fail?
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Because it's the best way to meet locals/soon to be friends and to get immersed in a new culture.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I have been to Europe and couchsurfed in different countries. I have also couch surfed in Australia, it was brilliant. I have met kind, intelligent, generous people. It's an experience that challenges your "normal" relationship with strangers; it's so natural and yet simultaneously so groundbreaking as a concept. Couch surfing is the best.
Interests
Spirituality (yoga, meditation, energy), dancing my ass off, art (film/acting/photography/fine & street art).
Talking with people - I am literally finishing a Specialization in Communications degree. It's wonderful.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I was on a boat on La Scene in Paris and saw fireworks and the Eiffel tower all lit up.
I climbed a volcano in the middle of the night called Mount-Batur in Bali, the sunrise at the peak is one of the most beautiful sights I have ever seen.
