About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Live out an adventure to remember!!!
ABOUT ME
I recently got back from an Au Pair adventure in Amsterdam. I am now "home" in Boston and trying to live an exciting, adventurous life like the one I had in Amsterdam but out of my home town! I love art, music, food and life in general and I am always up for an adventure to a new gallery, cool artsy shop or a long discussion over coffee. I am also born and bred in this city, so I am a good person to ask for tips, if I do say so myself ;)
PHILOSOPHY
It's corny and from elementary school but "What's done is done and what's not should be FUN!!!"
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
After meeting people in Amsterdam and while traveling my friend Iwona and I gave it a try and couch surfed through Stockholm, Talinn and Helsinki. Needless to say it was one of the best travel experiences of my life and I am so excited to host myself!
Interests
People, places, things. The world. I am really open to discussing everything and everything. But, if food and cute children can be thrown in there I will be even more interested!

Music, Movies, and Books
Movies are not really my thing but I am in a quite, calm music phase. Jazz, soft rock and classical music styles are definitely my favorite for now but I am also known to listen to a ska album or two every once in a while.
I love books, as long as they have a great story line. Most of my favorites are kids classics like Holes, Walk Two Moons and The Curious Case of the Very Last Whangdoodle, but I am up for it all!
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I recently went to Australia and was lucky enough to experience a day in the Blue mountains. There i walked through the rain forest, took a ride on a glass bottomed cable car over a ravine, took a ride on the steepest train ride in the world and saw some of the most beautiful views of rock formations and mountains I have ever seen.
Teach, Learn, Share
Well, I am a trained primary school teacher so I can always teach you to read, write and do simple math, but I think the best way to learn form someone is to talk to them about their perspective and their culture! Come to Boston and chat and I am sure we will both learn from each other!
