Hey I'm Sophiemarie, a positive and friendly individual with an inquisitive nature. I love to have fun, laugh and enjoy life! :) What's life if you're not having fun?! Some words that describe me: independent, kind, thoughtful, creative and easy going.

I'm an adventurer by heart, I love to explore and discover new things, and meet new people. I love learning and growing from all the experiences I have had in my life so far.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For a cultural exchange, to meet new people and discover different cultures. :) I've found that the most rewarding and enlightening experiences I've had travelling have been when I have volunteered and stayed with locals.

Interests

I am interested in a whole lot of different things, I love meeting new people and learning about their lives and what they are passionate about. I really enjoy being outdoors in nature, I especially love being by the sea. I love being active, mountain biking, hiking, I'm always up to give any outdoor activities a go. I also love cooking, and baking, I can make some mean as cakes. I love trying different foods from around the world and going to local markets. I like reading books on all sorts of different things, exploring spirituality, philosophy, being creative whether it be drawing (doodling), writing, knitting, sewing or cooking. I love exploring the places around me, I can walk for hours and hours in nature and through cities discovering new things.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spending two years travelling, volunteering and exploring different countries and cultures. I had so many amazing experiences interacting with different people and cultures and I learnt so much along the way.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: I can teach you how to cook some of my favourite things from home and also some other dishes I've picked up along my travels!

Learn: I love learning about different cultures, traditions, cuisine and local dishes.

Share: I'm a good cook! I can share some recipes from my home country, or some good recipes I've picked up more recently.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A cultural exchange, I love to get to know new people. Share stories, ideas, philospohies and more. I would be willing to cook you a meal if you like (or cook with you!) and share with you some flavours from my home country, or from the coutries I've visited.
