My identity is like a Jenga tower, each piece a belief I hold about myself or the world. In my early 20s, kinda by accident, I pulled a block out and the whole tower collapsed. I’ve been rebuilding it ever since.

I am a chronic thinker (my mum would say “overthinker”). I also have an MA in Creative Writing and this year, 2025, am completing a Grad Dip in TESOL and Applied Linguistics, so if you like words, we will definitely get along :)

My favourite people are those who are curious, and who don’t have much time for small talk.

***My Beliefs & Life Perspective***
Two skills that would change the world if every human possessed them: empathy and good communication.

I’m not into corny quotes but there’s a couple that really strike a chord with me...

“The important thing is not to stop questioning” - Albert Einstein

“The more you sweat in peace, the less you bleed in war” - Norman Schwarzkopf

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

First... why I’m NOT on Couchsurfing: I’m not using this as the traveler’s tinder, if I wanted that I would just use tinder :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing...
Initially I used couchsurfing as a surfer, I love getting to know people, and there’s nothing quite like getting to know a local in the place you’re staying.

Now I want to give back through hosting. I know what it’s like on the other side; traveling on your own, arriving in unfamiliar places, meeting new people, trying to stick to a budget. I get it. I want to help :) it would be nice if you could personalize your message. I, like many other hosts, want to get to know people, so please don’t treat this is an Airbnb/hotel.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

After 7 months of couchsurfing in Europe, I decided to host some fellow Surfers and ended up meeting some of my closest friends :)

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

***Teach***
I speak Spanish, so if you’re looking to learn or improve I can help you mi amigo :) or you can help improve mine!

I love to dance Bachata so I could teach you some basic moves :)

***Learn***
I wanna know about you, what you believe, your culture, why you’re here, all the juicy stuff.

Ce que j'aimerais partager avec mes hôtes

One of my biggest pet peeves are people who are consistently on their phones when we're together, so you can rest assured that I will give you my undivided attention in conversation because my favourite thing is a deep conversation. I love sharing stories and learning about people -- what they like/dislike, believe/reject, hopes/regrets etc -- whether it's in the early hours of the morning, or late into the night. Even better if it's accompanied by a coffee or meal.
