About Me

CURRENT MISSION

learn more, love more, live more :)

ABOUT ME

I think in my previous life I must have been a nomad. That's the only way I can explain my love for travel! People and places will never cease to fascinate me. I love the arts, photography, laughing, good food, fluffy animals, hiking, climbing, camping, dancing..... But most of all I love nature. It gives me peace. It brings me joy. It is my teacher.

PHILOSOPHY

Inside us all, patiently waiting, sits a little adventurous bird...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think that meeting locals is the best way to explore a new country. It is so much fun meeting new people and seeing a place through their eyes.

I am a student living in a large residence that does not allow me to host people at the moment :( But that doesn't stop me from traveling and meeting great people elsewhere!

Interests

Anything to do with nature. I love camping, rock climbing, hiking, soaking up the sun and just being outside. I love photography, the arts (I am a jewellery designer) and I love good food!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music
It depends on my mood, but I can listen to almost anything.

Books
The list is almost too long... I love JRR Tolkien, C Paolini, CS Lewis, T Pratchett, P Coelho....

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was lucky enough to accompany Mike Horn and 9 other youths to the Brazilian Amazon for one month. Truly one of the most breathtaking places!

I've also been a part of several social projects (pangaea-project.org) that have enriched the lives of children living in under-privileged conditions.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to learn about other cultures and I love learning new languages :)
