NOV/2021 UPDATE
I moved to Hawaii in 2019 and started a new life from scratch.

I am a full time photographer/social media manager and I love the ocean. Most of my activities involve being 20 feet above the ocean surfing some crazy north shore swells or being 40+feet below it finding peace, exotic life, and training to not freak out when the waves come haha.

now this is what I wrote a few years ago and its still pretty accurate. v

Over 6 years away from home

"Too foreign for home, too foreign for here, never enough for both"
Crazy, spontaneous, adventurous girl who loves to travel and get to know new people as much as she can. I am very communicative, I love the urban life, like partying, going to pubs with my friends, picnics, bike rides or just wander around new places; But, if you invite me to go surfing, hiking, camping under the stars or to visit another continent it probably means that we will be best mates.
During my latest travels i found my love for photography so constantly i am trying to take photos of everything, specially surf which is another passion of mine.
I constantly make bad jokes. I just can't help it.
I will talk to anyone.
I am traveling on a tight budget (probably like everyone around here) so i try to keep my expenses very low. I love cooking so i'd rather go to a shop to get groceries and making something from scratch instead of going to a restaurant.
Even though most of the odds are against me (no money, stability) i can be a very driven person because mama didn't raise no quitter.

Due to bad experiences in the past, i'd like to make clear, in case you are in doubt that CS is NOT tinder. Yes i am a girl traveling alone. No, i don't wanna share the same bed with you or cuddle.
Couch surfing is about sharing thoughts and cultures, making new friends in a new city or country. I am not interested in the rest.
I am tired of feeling uncomfortable late at night because of a creep who got offended because i prefer to sleep on the couch other than share a bed with him. I hope we are clear. Other than that i am the most chill person ever.

PHILOSOPHY

I like to live my life to the fullest. I am trying to become a better person, and maybe find my purpose in life. I still don't know who i wanna be when i grow up and for that reason i roam around until i find my "home"
I gotta admit i have this terrible fear of missing out so you will find me probably in a very exotic land, trying to do all at once.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Trying to travel around the world in the least touristic way possible. Also least expensive way. I always loved getting to know new people, and this sounds like a great combo
