I am a curious soul roaming the earth, intrigued by beautiful people and experiences, inspired by nature, art, philosophical conversations and surprising moments! I don’t do so well with small talk (I tend to ask you many questions out of my curiosity to know more about you) and then dive right into the deep topics! I live for those types of convos- the ones that reveal layers of our humanity and what makes each of us unique. I love a good adventure - one that makes for a great story. I am a good listener, and tend to hold space for others more than I take up space!

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I don’t have many couchsurfing experiences though I’m a world traveler! I’ve been lucky this far in the almost 30 countries I’ve visited to have had good friends who hosted me or to have been there for work. At the moment I made the choice to be nomadic, working from different places and joining this community on this adventure. I hope to have a welcoming home at some moment soon in which to host you!
