CURRENT MISSION

travel and be merry

ABOUT ME

I recently graduated from university and now I'm traveling and trying to learn more about the world and the people in it. I like learning languages, long walks, literature, the outdoors, having painted nails, being helpful, haggle-shopping, and deep long conversations. I'm friendly, goofy, outgoing and forgetful. I'm low-maintenance and usually pretty self-content. I don't get bored easily but I do get restless. I like to see other peoples' point of view and give everyone the benefit of the doubt.

I'm the kind of person that doesn't like to throw a thing away if there's something I can make out of it, like a basket out of newspaper or a flower pot out of an old saucepan. If there's a big bug stuck in the house I like to let it out the window instead of killing it. You can also find me spending lots of time reading and writing, hitchhiking or learning languages.

As a couchsurfer I'm easygoing and will respect your routine and space. I'm independent and I like checking out new places by myself so I don't expect you to devote your days to being my tour guide, but if you want to do that I would be grateful. It's always great to be invited along for activities with the host and his or her friends.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is absurd and wonderful.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've surfed a few times and hosted a few times. It's been almost entirely good.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I learned that there are some very open, generous, trusting people out there.
