CURRENT MISSION

Live the life you love, love the life you live

ABOUT ME

I recently left my career and job after 7 years and am taking a year sabbatical. I'm super easy going, respectful, and fun to be around. My best friends say "that's so Bernice" - serious and calm when the time requires but otherwise living each day to its fullest and love spontaneity.

PHILOSOPHY

"People are always saying you should be yourself, like yourself is this definite thing, like a toaster. Like you know what it is even. But every so often I'll have, like, a moment, where just being myself in my life right where I am is, like, enough."

-Angela Chase

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy meeting locals and learning more about the country through people who live there.

Interests

I love all sorts of music, dance, the sun and the sand. Bright colors and things that stand out always catch my eye, as well as little cobblestone details that people normally pass by in their busy day to day lives.

• dancing
• music
• backpacking

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teaching English in a very poor village school in Ratanakiri, Cambodia, at a high school with students aged 13-22. I was with 2 other girl friends (both blonde) and the students were completely blown away by their blonde hair as they had never seen anything like that before.
