CURRENT MISSION

Work and travel and work and travel and work and travel

ABOUT ME

I am a human being. I do African dance, paint, draw, write, worked as a teacher in Thailand. I like traveling to places I've never been to before! I lived abroad for two and a half years in three different continents and countries. I’m home now.

PHILOSOPHY

Always travel, always be open to different cultures and different people, I live to serve this Earth and make it a better place.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am hosting and couch surfing to meet cool new people who also share the love of travel. I am also an artist so there's that as well and I love to eat new and different foods.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I stayed with two hosts in the South of Spain in 2011, and it was awesome! And in the North of Spain and thank you good people! :) I hosted when I was living in Thailand!

Interests

African dance, art, painting, writing, creativity, film, TV, non-profit organizations, helping people in the world, helping make the world a better place! I taught English and ballet to kids in Thailand for 8.5 months. Work and travel are both very important to me so I ended up staying a while in each place I lived. I was teaching English in Odessa, Ukraine for four months. I’m home now.
