Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Enjoying this beautiful life: currently traveling full-time, enjoying every day (even if it's just dancing through my kitchen to Latin beats or Afro House), learn something new (currently diving into energy healing and also the Japanese culture), creating new recipes and having fun testing dishes from around the world, enjoying my sabbatical and I always try to make people laugh... wow there are so many missions!
I’m traveling full-time right now and unfortunately cannot host you for that reason.
Traveling opens your mind and heart. One big lesson I learned: life is happening right here and right now. Live in the present moment, make it a fun and uplifting experience, and you’ll see how your life transforms! Limits only exist in our mind!!
I met so many unique, dedicated and kind people. I’m grateful for the opportunities I received and can’t wait so see what’s coming next.
For the year of 2024 I'm planning to meet and connect with many new people from all over the world. I want to expand my spiritual knowledge, learn more about the depths of my soul and how energy is connecting all of us, discover new restaurants, learn how to cook authentic international food, make new friends, find my soul family, explore my spirituality and enjoy life wherever my path leads me!
December: Mexico & Germany
Jan: Germany & France
Feb-May: France
Things I want to learn:
Languages: French, Twi and Tigrinya (pleaseeee hit me up if you wanna do a language exchange. I offer German, English, Spanish and Japanese in return and also a killer Cocktail recipe hehe)
Skills: free diving, meditating, Reiki, improve visualization and conceptual thinking, writing (texts, short stories, poetry), experimenting with my cooking skills (new healthy recipes), recording podcasts, content creation, danciiiiiing
Sports: Pilates, Yoga, Free diving, Afro Dance, would be cool to learn doing a backflip haha
Topics: Human Design, Energy Healing, how to create healthy, loving and supporting relationships with the close people around me, working fully remotely
Life goal:
Meet more soul family all over the world (and beyond) and create amazing communities. Enjoy and live in the present moment. Smile every day, because "it's a beautiful day to be alive" :)

ABOUT ME
I love travelling and getting to know new people and cultures. I love life and laugh a lot, especially when it comes to funny travel stories and embarrassing moments! There's nothing better than moving to a new country, connecting with like minded people and cooking with friends. I love to enjoy great food while listening to random music and talking about even more random topics. Philosophical topics are my favorites!
Sometimes I like to have time to myself, get lost in day dreaming and enjoy a long walk out in nature. My element is the wind, and I love watching the night sky! Do you think there's other life out there?
Languages, writing texts and words in general are my passion. Words can help to express our true feelings and thoughts. They help us to connect with each other, no matter the distance. Their existence proofs that someone before us had the same feeling and created a word to describe it.
I'm curious and would like to learn about your life, what drives you, what keeps you up at night and what were your moments of bliss? I'd love to learn new things from you and in return I could teach you some irresistible Guacamole or banana pancake recipe, Salsa, Bachata or how to create a happy life!
I lived 4 years in Paris, 1 year in Japan, 1 year in Guatemala, 9 months in El Salvador and half a year in Mexico. I hugged people from over 25 different countries of the world and each hug was amazing! Right now you can find me traveling in Japan! I'm always ready to meet up for Ramen or a chat in the park.
If you wanna follow my adventures on IG, you can find me @leafingposts for positive texts straight from my heart and travel inspiration ^_^
PHILOSOPHY
You just got this one life so live your life to the fullest!! Be true to yourself and love yourself the way you would like to be loved by others. Choose to be kind and have fun! There's nothing serious going on here!! And always remember: believe in true love ❤ Also: good food and music make people happy :)
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I love to meet up with people all over the world. Usually, I try to join CS events near my city and also meet people from CS when I'm travelling. I had amazing experiences staying with hosts in Japan and Guatemala. Once I'm a little more settled I would also be happy to host people passing through Germany.
If you want to hang out or meet up somewhere in the world, please send me a message!
Also if you need any advice on travelling Japan, Vietnam, Central America and Central Europe, I'd be happy to help!
