About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live sustainably discovering new friends and cultures

ABOUT ME

Hi! I am Sophie. I am a friendly, outgoing Kiwi girl presently living in Barcelona, Spain. I work in renewable energy (solar) and my passions are travel, languages, photography, cooking and sustainability.

PHILOSOPHY

Live, love, laugh and be grateful for all you have in this world. Tread lightly on this Earth, treat others with compassion. All you need is love.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have had friends who have recommended CS and due to a trip to Munich coming up I thought I would try it again. I love travel and meeting new people ever since I was an exchange student to Costa Rica with AFS in 2000. I am happy to meet and be a guide for CS members wherever I find myself in the world.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

had a blast with my host in Japan many years ago now.

Music, Movies, and Books

Foreign movies are my faves, love non-fiction books of all types, and my music taste is varied but tend to favour black music for the soul and great beat: Soul, funk, drum n' bass, jungle, dubstep, reggae, afrobeat, hip-hop.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent my last year of high school on exchange to Costa Rica and fell in love with the place. I have been so fortunate so far in my life for all the wonderful experiences I have had, and am hungry for more.

Teach, Learn, Share

Live, laugh, learn, love.
