About Me

I traveled alone for the first time in June 2015 and this trip marked the start of a series of solo trips!
From October 2015 to January 2016 I travelled and worked with Workaway.info around the British Isles. Then from April to mid-July 2016, I backpacked solo across South-East Asia. I visited Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia and Indonesia. I also go on short trips around Europe when I can.
And I still want to travel to New Zealand, Australia, Oregon+Washington States (US), Canada and Iceland. But I know it won't be that soon.
I am currently studying sociology in England, and ready to make the most of those long summer breaks!

Travelling has changed me a lot and has helped me find out who I am and what I want.
I travel to broaden my mind, get to know myself better, meet people, practice photography and enjoy the wonders of our world.
I love discovering new places, new customs, new people...
I'm a helpful and friendly person

I have food intolerances, which means that if I could have access to a kitchen, it would be amazing! We could cook together, or if you wanna rest, I can cook for you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This is a great way to meet new people and make new experiences. That way, I can see the country from a different perspective, not as a tourist. It is a way to connect with others. People make up for a lot of a trip.

Unfortunately I can't host anyone at the moment... Sadly, the student room where I'm currently living is just waaaay too small.

Interests

I'm big into sustainability. Always keen to learn about eco projects, chat about sustainability, ...
I like photography and of course, traveling :)
I also love to think about philosophical and spiritual topics.
