World explorer with a passion for international security, culture, and connecting with people across borders. I’ve lived in Colombia, Japan, Jordan, France, Moldova, and the U.S., and along the way, I’ve picked up seven languages—Spanish, English, French, Portuguese, Japanese, Arabic, and Russian. Whether I’m diving into geopolitical trends or just having a chat over coffee in a new language, I love finding the human side of global issues.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I prefer using Couchsurfing over staying in hotels because I’m always looking for a more immersive cultural experience. For me, travel isn’t just about sightseeing—it’s about connecting with people, sharing stories, and getting a feel for everyday life in a new place. I also love using the opportunity to practice the languages I’ve learned over the years and see how they come to life in real conversations. Staying with locals adds so much depth and meaning to any trip.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Managed to become fluent in seven languages while living and working across five continents—turning cultural curiosity into a lifestyle.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love helping others navigate the intersection of language, culture, and global careers. Whether it’s learning how to master multiple languages, adapt to life across continents, break into the field of international security, or understand the nuances of regions like Francophone/Lusophone Africa, and Latin America—I’m all about sharing what I’ve learned along the way. I can also offer insights on how to build a multilingual career, prepare for interpretation or diplomacy exams, and make meaningful connections across cultures.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love sharing stories, cultural experiences, language tips, travel recommendations, books, music, good food, meaningful conversations, and a bit of laughter along the way
