About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Making the world a smaller place, one friendship at a time.

ABOUT ME

I like to think that I am open to any new experience... I want to taste the breadth of what it means to be human. Travel and meeting new ppl is a huge part of this.
My name translates as generous of one's self. I only learned that recently, but I like to think that I have always tried to live up to it. I have many spellbinding stories at my disposal, and a few them are even true. But I am always looking for more, so share one with me!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love playing host and showing guests the ppl and places I adore. I am blessed with some amazing friends across this world, and your world will be a better place if u know them as well.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have certainly been grateful for the kindness of strangers in my travels, but I have trouble reaching out for it. I usually travel on my own in ghetto fashion.
I look forward to connecting with kind hosts and experiencing their corner of the world.
