Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

I am couch surfing because I travel often and as you all know it can be very expensive! I have been honored to receive many opportunities that I have been. But with every positive comes a negative, and that negative is the expenses that traveling comes with. All in all, I am hoping that I can show you how honored and respected that I am to take on the many opportunities that life gives me, and I'm hoping you will help me with such!

Musik, Filme und Bücher

I LOVE to watch movies! It's actually one of my favorite past time things to do! I'm very open to all different types of movies! Literally anything showing, I will watch. As a dancer, I open myself generally to all different types of music. And yes, that includes A LOT of classical! :)
