About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To be fearless in what seems fearlful & Achieve the possible in what seems impossible.

ABOUT ME

I am an honest and altruistic person. I speak my mind so you'll find that at times I am random. I love having a laugh and bonding with my inner-child. I am passionate about what I believe in and will stand up for what I believe is right. I am a feminist and perfectionist but not a radical at that. I am a party goer but I also enjoy passing time with my shoes on my feet and my head out the toilet. I am a big 'why' person because I am interested in what people think and especially why they think the way they do. I love learning new things so if your around me you can trust that I will ask you to show me or teach me at some point or another :)

PHILOSOPHY

So many people fall into the norms of society and how one should be that they forget to be themselves and express themselves as they are. I generally believe in being yourself and though we are complex beings with sometimes complex thoughts; I think that these expressions are an art of one's character and just because it is not understood by some and at times judged by others, it doesn't mean it isn't beautiful. Freedom of expression - thought - and faith.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am unfortunately living in Madrid at the moment so I am not in a position to host but I value the opportunity to surf and meet people of all walks of life.

Interests

I particularly love midnight walks, chilling over a drink, live gigs, stand up comedy, spontaneity, debating about religion per se or just general things..
