Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
My mission is to invite beautiful lost Souls to scuba diving as a resource to be fully taking in the moment, unleashing inner strength and peace and most of all regain self-confidence and self-esteem.
For myself, I'm also trying to take life slow and appreciate every new day by being grateful for all the magical and breathtaking things around us, above and under water ;)
ABOUT ME
I love meeting like-minded and funny souls, connecting with them and the nature around.
I'm so grateful for the possibility to travel and all the unforgettable experiences and friends I've made through it all around the world.
COMMON VALUES
If you are a beautiful human being who is interested in genuinely connecting, sharing stories and also maybe one of my following passions, don't hesitate to write me or ask if I can host you:
diving in the ocean or through the sky, running through the forest, hiking up a mountain, climbing up to heights, taking your yoga mat with you on my journeys, exploring new countries and their cultures, making new friends all over the world.
SOME OF MY DREAMS
- One of my dreams is to travel to every country in the world or connecting to a local from each country !
- Getting 120 years old would be awesome. (;
- Among my big five in life definitely counts scuba diving with whale sharks, humpback whale, orcas, galapagos turtles and one day.
- I hope to add the New York Marathon and a Triathlon to my finisher memories.
- I'm commited to live every day fulfilled with joy and enthusiam to empower others to believe in themselves and also go after their dreams.
PHILOSOPHY
"Through giving joy, we receive even more joy."
"Before courage there will be fear!!"
"Don't look back, when the way goes on! Enjoy here and now!!"
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I just love the bonds you can create through connecting and sharing.
I'm not really interested in going to the Eiffel tower and hopping on the tourist bus to see things or surround myself with bad energy.
I'm interested in lovely genuine connections and new friendships, hearing why you live there, listening to your dreams and passions and getting to know your best soul food joints. I enjoy experiencing life and new cultures in parts of the world I didn't grow up in.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCES
I surfed some couches, hosted and hung out with amazing people exploring there hometowns and made unforgettable memories.
Through CS I meet incredible people who totally inspired me, became lifelong friends and sometimes even moved to my current homebase or shot my wedding photos years later.
Interests
I love connection with beautiful souls and all kind of sports and extreme sports, nature and obviously food and discovering new cultures through it all. It's what makes my day and can instantly change my mood.
I enjoy laughing that your body hurts, listening to stories, dreaming big together and making these dreams come true.
A couple of things I would love to learn are rock climbing, surfing, playing the guitar, acro pole, breathwork, different forms of meditation and being more mindful, wingsuiting and sewing.
Maybe you want to be a part of this journey.
One day I would love to sail down the atlantic coast, paraglide the Alps and try out cliff-jumping.

Music, Movies, and Books
I love, love, love reading all different kind of genres, but especially books which inspire.
If I start a book it's sometimes hard for me to even put it aside for eating or not to read until I need to get up for the next day.
Among my favorite authors are Jennifer Donnelly, Robyn Carr and Jane Austen.
I appreciate most kinds of music and my taste varies from electronic, soul, reggae, indie, punkrop, rap to brass pop and am always happy to discover new inspiration. Sometimes I just randomly make a few dance moves… even in public transportation. (;
