Hello! Or in Welsh, shwmae! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Two years ago, I came up with the idea to walk the length of the river Danube from source to sea. After all of my research I found that no one had ever done that before - so it was time for an adventure!

This was my biggest trip and inspired a real love for travel and learning about everything - from Spanish to spirituality, food to other people’s passions - and now this year I will be travelling around Asia writing about tea and rollerskating.

Then, I will finally head back to Latinoamérica where I can start start hosting and giving back everything that I have received on this amazing journey ✨

I don’t drink alcohol or smoke (it’s cool if you do), and I’m not looking for a hook up or relationship - please don’t try it, I will leave instantly!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing to meet new people, see new places, and share tea ceremonies! 🍵

I have already met a several awesome people on Couchsurfing, many of whom I now consider good friends. I believe that creating lifelong bonds is the most amazing experience that CS can offer.

I’m spending this time travelling so sadly cannot host anyone :( But when I finally settle down I look forward to giving back all I have received 🥰

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Did you know that the tea industry is like, really bad?? Since finding out about the human rights violations, environmental damage, and sheer amount of chemicals and pesticides involved in most tea processing, I decided to start up a tea business that actually supports the real heroes of the industry.

I’m super passionate about tea and connecting with the farmers that craft each and every brew, and am so proud to bring their tea to people all over the world 🍵 Obviously, I travel with tea in my bag ✨

Alsooo, in Slovenia I rescued a little duckling who nearly died from a boat accident, and now she is a healthy and happy duck. It was only recently that I had to give her to her new family, however, so it might still be a bit raw to talk about 🥲

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to make the perfect cup of tea! I’m actually certified by the International Tea Academy and can talk about tea for hours, so can teach you about my favourite beverage. I’m currently working on running my own tea meditation sessions online, so would love to have a tea meditation session with you 🥰

I can teach rollerskating tricks and Spanish, and, having grown up in Wales, I know a few words which I can teach - but sadly, not as much as I’d like due to the whole Welsh Knot situation 😔

What I Can Share with Hosts

Everything mentioned above - plus, Welsh cakes! These are delicious little cookie/ biscuit/ cakes with raisins, and are traditional in Wales. They’re super easy to make and I’d love to share my recipe with you and enjoy some Welsh cakes over a cup of tea (do I sound obsessed about tea yet??) 😊
