Overview
About Me
I'm a 27 year old gal who quit my corporate finance gig in June 17 and has been exploring ever since.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Hoping to stay with some cool, big hearted locals on the long road ahead 😊 Unfortunately I cannot accept guests at the moment as I am on the road, but hope to do so when I am settled!
Interests
I am learning to love being immersed in the unknown and allowing my environment to shape my experience and help me to be a more open minded person!
- reading
- learning languages
- meeting new people
- open minded people
Music, Movies, and Books
Jitterbug Perfume continues to be hands down my favourite book, but I'm looking to read more non-fiction and books about spiritual awareness/self-help this year as they are precisely the sort of thing I would never pick up! Currently leafing through Ruiz's The Four Agreements.
Love all sorts of music, brass band, African drumming and gypsy music gets the heart pumping, old school rock and roll, deep house, jazz, 90s RnB... I am definitely not a music snob!
I absolutely love chilling with a movie, cosy nights in are paramount. Some of my favourites include the Before trilogy (Sunrise, Sunset, Midnight), The Matrix, any of Arnie's comedies (talking Kindergarten Cop, Twins, Last Action Hero) and if I'm being unabashedly honest just about anything involving Schwarzenegger ever made, The Big Lebowski, The Craft, Boogie Nights, foreign cinema including, Old Boy, Incendies, The Intouchables, most Disney and Pixar flicks... yeah, I really love movies.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Recently road tripped the Balkans with 35 perfect strangers who became life long friends.
Teach, Learn, Share
I'm fluent in English & conversationally fluent in Serbian, speak a little Spanish and am learning modern Greek. I love to learn languages and immerse myself in new languages and cultures.
I am a notorious picker upper and putter downer of hobbies so I can do the following:
* Crochet lines and lines of a single stitch
* Play some chords on the Ukulele but not a single song in its entirety
* Fold an origami envelope (seriously, it's a little bit better than a regular envelope)
* Write shitty poetry
* Write short stories not for public consumption
* Sing in key, sometimes
* Swing dance to a fairly satisfactory level for rock and roll nights at the bowling club
* Ballet at a level somewhere between never having heard of the concept of ballet, and having taken one beginner class
What I Can Share with Hosts
I am very clean and courteous as a guest, I am friendly and arguably a decent cook!
