About Me

I’m optimistic, quite easy going and find that I can get along with most people. I really enjoy connecting with others, but I suppose that's what life is about. I’m also very eager to learn and know more about this beautiful world we live in.

I am a child of the mountains, I love hiking and adventurous travelling. I believe to live a meaningful life, one must be creating art in any form, and art is all about spreading goodness in the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have been couchsurfing in Italy & Canada, and it has proven to be quite amazing! I would choose couchsurfing over hostels and hotels any day and I have met the most amazing people through this wonderful community!

Interests

Meeting new people, making new friends. There are so many beautiful people in the world to share this life with. I'm always keen for any sort of adventure! - Holistic healing and sports in nature bring me joy.
