About Me

Active again after a longer break - with the same curiosity n excited to reconnect.

I consider myself a free spirit n a nature-loving, mindful person. I’m interested in spirituality, yoga, personal growth n mental health, but also in social justice, feminism n living in a more conscious, less materialistic way.

I value tolerance, authenticity n mutual respect. I’m curious abt other ways of life n enjoy spending time together - whether through long, deep talks as much as relaxed silence or shared meals.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For me, travelling and Couchsurfing r abt more than just places - they’re abt ppl, stories n perspectives. I love meaningful encounters, inspiring conversations n moments that make u see the world (n urself) a little differently.

Couchsurfing gives me the chance to connect beyond cultural, social n personal boundaries, stereotypes n comfort zones - and to grow through shared experiences.
