I'm a true blue minimalist and embrace the idea of travelling around the world to be in the very heart of pure nature and culture.

Not the bravest of souls but I'm always open to new ideas and experience.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm embarking on an (Eastern) Europe backpacking trip starting from the Scandinavian countries, then to the Baltic allures, passing through beautiful Ukraine, Albania and Romania then down south to the Mediterranean to Greece and hopefully to Turkey.

I'm equal parts nervous and excited.

To be honest, I love hostelling but I've decided that I might take 1-2 days out of each city/town to try couchsurfing just to understand the culture a little better and experience a little more than just a passing tourist. After all, most of my memorable trips were formed around the friends I met more than the places I've been to.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ditched a return flight back home to travel for 18 months in South America (and subsequently in Europe and Asia) from 2015 - 2017.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would jump on any opportunities to practise my super basic Spanish and exchange any cooking recipes with you. (I just picked up basic cooking on this trip you see.)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I've also been painting full-sized murals for hotels and restaurants in South America so if you like art, I could share some little tips I've learned along the way.

I had really heart-warming experiences hitch-hiking across South America, from Colombia to Argentina, and Chile to Brazil, hitchhiking over 15,000 km of adventures.
