About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To interact with people, spend time with the ones I like, learn from the ones I don't, have once in a lifetime experiences and find my passion.

ABOUT ME

I am a good humored and easy going person. I can roll with the punches and am so grateful to have had the opportunities I've had to see our amazing planet. The first thing people notice about me is probably my laugh. I love to laugh and I try to surround myself with people who make me laugh often. I love meeting people, talking about any and everything, and learning about all of the cool stuff in the world that I don't even know exisits!

PHILOSOPHY

I'm not feeling very articulate at the moment, so here is my favorite quote and the inspiration for a tattoo I have:

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others" --Marianne Williamson

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

So far I have hosted a few times and have unofficially "couchsurfed" a few times. I'm hoping to become more active in both hosting and surfing, especially after I move into an apartment with more space this summer.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far I am pretty new to couchsurfing. I've hosted a few people and all have been great experiences so I'm definitely looking forward to more! I am open to hosting and showing people around if they're ever down here in my little town in Spain, and I'm hoping people will be willing to host me even though I'm a n00b.

Interests

I really love making things, jewelry, random DIY projects, origami, pretty much anything. I also really like to take photos, read and dance. I take a flamenco class and so far it's been really fun! I took dance classes starting when I was 6 until I graduated from high school and then was an active member of a dance group in university that primarily focused on tap dancing. I love to go out, have drinks, dance, meet people, try to improve my Spanish, etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

this isnt very specific, but I love sunsets and night skys. pretty much any beautiful sunset is bound to make me happy, and looking at the stars in extreme darkness is overwhelmingly magical.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to make a stellated icosahedron out of 30 small pieces of oragami. So easy!! i promise. we can learn together how to cook... I can follow a recipe and improvise pretty well but I'm still working on the creativity and patience aspect of cooking. I can share my experiences and advice, and I hope you can too!
