About Me

I’m traveling the world with the vision of learning from Indigenous communities and becoming a small part of their stories of resistance, resilience, and culture. I believe the world becomes a better place when communities come together, share wisdom, and protect what matters.

For the last 12+ years I’ve been involved in social and environmental movements such as organizing volunteers, designing workshops, supporting community-led campaigns, and listening to the stories of people fighting for their land, rights, and future. These experiences shaped who I am: curious, empathetic, and always excited to learn.

I love spending time in nature, climbing, cooking plant-based food, and connecting with people on long, honest conversations. I’m usually the person who breaks the ice in a room and helps others feel comfortable. I enjoy storytelling, and I’m always inspired by the journeys and challenges people carry with them.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I travel slowly, respectfully, and with intention. Couchsurfing for me is not just a place to sleep :) it’s a chance to meet people who see the world differently, to learn local culture from the inside, and to share a bit of myself along the way.
