CURRENT MISSION

make things my own and not things handed to me

ABOUT ME

i love to dance and i get to do that here in spain. i have become very much addicted to dancing salsa salsa salsa and bachata and merengue. i also am doing hip hop dancing. and i want to learn flamenco. i just love to dance. i love learning the spanish language and want to learn portugese and arabic someday. i love learning about new cultures. i love traveling and learning and touching the history behind places and seeing how every culture has somehow influenced the others. i love learning about people. i want to do good in the world and effect change for good. it doesn't matter to me to make a name for myself or make a lot of money. the idea of living as simply as possible is very appealing tho also difficult but seems the most freeing way to live.

'it is not until you lose everything are you free to do anything'

PHILOSOPHY

ask questions, learn for myself, make things my own instead of things handed to me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

this is the best project ever! its a co-op! i think this is how we should work in the world for everything. but i understand that to be impossible. i am currently living in spain and am currently looking to travel. i am living with other people and am not sure they would be open to couch surfers, but i would completely be.
