I like to meet new people and have conversations about life and experiences.
One of my favorite hobbies is Geocaching - finding small “treasures” while traveling, an everyday adventure! I also love hiking & biking & sleeping outside 🚲🏕️⛰️✨
I currently work self-employed as a hiking & travel guide 🧭

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I was hiking on the Via Francigena in 2019 and i wanted to find people who could host me. It was perfect, I've met the nicest and most generous people you can imagine!

Generally, I would like to meet local people while traveling and get to know places from a different perspective ☺️🌎🌏🌍📍

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My favorite Couchsurfing experience was on a trip to the Lofoten in Norway (August ‘21): I got to stay at a typical Norwegian summer house in the middle of nowhere, meeting the most amazing travelers and had some of the best talks in my life. I will come back to this cabin one day, I’m sure!

Other than that, I’ve done several long-distance hikes, mostly on the Caminos de Santiago in Spain.
I also hiked the Appalachian Trail from April to September 2022. What a wild experience! Such a mental and physical rollercoaster.
Now, hiking is my job, but I’m still planning my own long hikes and just having fun in my local hiking area :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would love to share my hiking experiences and other travel stories with you and hear yours! I’m always up for deep talks about life, culture, traveling :))
We can also practice languages together if your interested, or go on a hike :)
