About Me

I live, I learn, I grow ... . I believe in kindness and joy. I believe in maximising each moment on Planet Earth by engaging 100% in all that life has to offer. I enjoy people. I'm a writer/storyteller because I love to hear and share stories from persons from different walks of life. Our stories make life meaningful and fun and interesting, and there is always something unique about each individual's journey. Some of the best moments of my life are random encounters with complete strangers with whom I formed lasting connections ... I love these moments! I travel because it is the oxygen that gives me new stories, experiences, connections and light.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Connecting with locals in a town is THE best way to travel. Nothing beats the personalised experience you get from sharing out of your own life, or sharing in someone else's. I want to show people the awesomeness of my own country, and help give them an unforgettable experience. And I also want to visit other countries and see their magnificance.

Every now and then, I wanna just slip away to somewhere and see what else the world has to offer. Couchsurfing is the godsent answer for that!

Interests

I'm a consummate writer, a people person, a chatterbox, socialiser, storyteller who loves nature and the outdoors and particularly enjoys hikes. I'm also a foodie ... love to try new dishes! Also wanna learn so many more languages ...
