About Me

Happy to be back here to connect and meet all of you beautiful people to create memories and experiences and rejoice in the bliss and magic of this life 🌞🎶

I've been an ESL teacher for about 10 years now, mainly working with children. I also teach Yoga, to both children and adults. I enjoy the creative aspect of my work and as I continue to learn I bring my learning into the classroom, whenever possible. My aim is to make the lessons relevant and practical for today's world, giving kids skills that they can immediately incorporate in their lives from mindfulness, well-being to critical thinking and problem solving.

When I'm not teaching, I'm learning and exploring.
In the city, I enjoy discovering graffiti and street art, going to museums and finding hidden gems (cafes with great cakes or pastries) but mostly walking on alleyways and side streets to feel the slow rhythmic heartbeat of wherever I may be.

I love the sea, being in nature, foraging, learning about flowers and bees and crafting but so many more. Sometimes I feel like a shapeshifter. I'm also into sailing and recently got my RYA Skipper license!
Currently doing a diploma course in Social Studies and Counselling and a Shamanic Beekeeping Apprenticeship 🐝

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Relationships are mirrors 🪞🪞
We reflect each other's light and shadows, the beauty and the stuff we still need to work on 😅
I'm here to to meet new people, to practice mindful communication and vulnerability, to get curious, get raw and real, experience being human, share and learn how to love people the way they need to be loved while sprinkling delight along my way✨🧚🏽‍♀️
