About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Practice patience, open-mindedness, and travel to as many countries as I can!

PHILOSOPHY

My personal philosophy...oh dear...well, I would say that as I live my life, I accept experiences as they come. Everything happens for a reason, although it may not be apparent in the moment. For me, what gives meaning to life are the people I meet and the things I learn from them. In a sense, I feel as though you should always keep your culture, but be open-minded and adapt to other cultures, as well as acquire certain aspects of the culture that fit you as a person.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right off the bat, I LOVE to meet people. For this, I love CS because people are usually always willing to talk and share experiences about their times traveling. Also, they tend to want to show you the culture, and if you are in their hometown, they will show you around and give you an experience of the REAL culture.

Interests

photography, traveling (of course), meeting new people, hearing life stories, adapting to new cultures, exercise, volleyball, rock climbing (although i'm not very good at it haha), baking and cooking, learning languages.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing thing I've done so far is go to Patagonia (the Argentine side), more specifically Bariloche and El Bólson. The Patagonian landscape is just another world and so breath-taking. There's really nothing like it. I'm hoping to go back and explore more in the future!
