About Me

Im a curious, happy, playful person. All the things that I like the most always involve something social, hanging out with friends, being with my family, teaching and meeting new people traveling . Love making new friends and getting new insights from people with different backgrounds.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

First time I've heard of CS (this is 2008) I couldn't believe there was a community of poeple that would be so open that they would offer their place to a stranger. I was only a teenager and I had never seen before that level of selfless generosity. Part of my education was more towards a "be careful with strangers" mentality.
I had made tons of amazing friends and had some of my best traveling experiences with CS. For me, CS has been a brain changing experience.
