About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Embrace life to the fullest, everyday is a new opportunity!

ABOUT ME

I am a very fun loving, warm, intelligent and caring person. I love getting to know people because I feel that we are all connected somehow. Learn something new from everyone I meet and enjoy helping people in this sometimes unjust, crazy world we live in.

PHILOSOPHY

You have the freedom to choose what you want to do! So just don't worry, be happy :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I recruit people to CS all the time. I encourage people to join so they can understand that the "World is smaller than you think" when traveling. One can only gain a deeper appreciation for where they are visiting.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I finally was able to couchsurf in Nice and it was a great experience! But when I do get a place of my own I would love to host others! I've met other couch surfers while traveling as well.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Recently, travelled to Morocco for a day by myself on a friday during Ramadan. Also, both stood atop a mountain in the middle of the Swiss Alps for a breath-taking view and went canyoning there as well. You feel so small amongst the great surrounding you. Gave me an even deeper appreciation of the power of nature.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn how to speak Spanish! I know how and love to cook, especially some delicious cajun recipes and can teach you! I would love to give back, everything I have been given while traveling. I am very passionate about the environment, sustainablity and incorporating them into our everyday lives. I want to paraglide in the Alps and travel to Central and South America! I will travel all continents and the seven seas!
