About Me

Hey there! I come from Malta a teeny weeny island in the Mediterranean. I adore adventure and I'm obsessed with travel. If my life was a perfume it would smell like the sea. So I had decided to combine these two amazing things and worked in tourism relating to cruise ships and yachts. During this time at sea I have opened my eyes on the global heritage value, so I am currently doing my masters on this.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Although I worked in the high end luxury tourism sector, my favourite style of travelling is backpacking where I meet amazing people along the way. I find Couchsurfing as the perfect medium for such purpose. I love it!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: anything really! But I have to admit that I am an old soul and my favourite is jazz bossa nova.
Movies: I love experimental movies such as The Tree of Life. My favourite producer is Lars von Trier.
Books: Historical Fiction

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have worked on a cruise ship and on an amazing historical tall sailing ship.
I have also backpacked solo across Ukraine on a mission of teaching young people project management. The mission was truly a success and now there are a lot of amazing community projects changing Ukraine. Their enthusiasm to change the world for the better is indescribable and they have really inspired me.

Teach, Learn, Share

Life is beautiful with its up and downs. We have all been there, I'd love to share my experiences with beautiful souls. I can teach salsa, maltese and all about boats!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love being an ambassador of Malta, my country. I can teach you all about it :) Ever wondered about sailing the seven seas? I can tell you everything I know.
