Hey everyone! No references as I'm new here!

I'm currently on a solo adventure across Europe - always wanted to do this! What would make this trip more amazing is meeting fellow travellers or hosts - especially those who love literature, poetry, meditation, music, travel, or the arts.

The trip's been amazing so far, and now I've settled down a bit I'm able to host Couchsurfers. A lot of people have been kind enough to help on my trip and I'd love to return the favour.

I'm also learning French, so if you speak it, let's chat! I love to cook (vegan all the way), and I'm always experimenting with new recipes I'd love to share.

I'm a writer for a living, so I like to think I'm pretty fun and creative. Whether we’re swapping travel stories, or discussing favourite books and restaurants, I’m all about making meaningful connections and having a great time.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I was last on Couchsurfing about ten years ago, for my last backpacking trip. I met so many amazing people on that trip.

A lot of people have been kind enough to help on my current trip and I'd love to return the favour.

In Austria, it's all about the classical music

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm training to be a meditation teacher, so I love leading meditations. I'm a terrible cook but have lots of awful recipes, so can share those too. And my French is appalling - but I get by.
