About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To meet new people, to always be experiencing new things and to help others do the same.

ABOUT ME

I am a person with an open mind and am someone you can feel comfortable with. I love being around people, learning about them, listening to their stories and laughing. I want to learn about different cultures of the world from people who have lived it and not through books. I hope to travel the world doing this and also by showing people the beauty of my own country.

PHILOSOPHY

Smile, laugh, love, eat yummy food.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I go to local couchsurfing events and try to spread the word about it so more people can experience couchsurfing.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have couchsurfed in a few places in Europe. I had a great time and can't wait to do it again or host someone else in Canada

Interests

I like a bit of everything. Watching movies, listening to music, playing ukulele, drawing, just chilling and hanging out with people. I love meeting new people and learning about them, and exploring and learning new things about the world and myself.
