First of: my response rate is this low, because Couchsurfing kept messing seeing my payments. I was not able to see messages repeatedly every month. I do answer all messages I see.
I do not accept super short term requests (meaning same day or 1-2 days prior visit. I have a busy life and don't always update my calendar day by day)

Hey guys, I'm Chrissy.
I am a social worker and am now working as an assistant for a disabled person to give her the possibility of having a life on her own. Prior I worked with drug addicts in a stationary drug therapy to counsel them.
I also have a small business on the side for photography and videography. With that I have seen a couple of small and big movie sets.
I am also a passionate Dancer of various styles (waving, hip-hop, popping, house, Waacking). I also recently got into dancing Newstyle-Hustle (partner dance). Despite that I also love doing sports like tennis, climbing, swimming, martial arts.
I love to have deep conversations and to dig deeper into different cultures, especially those ones that are most different to my own.
My view on this world is that everybody should have a chance to live the life they want to live under one condition: don't threaten someone else's vision of it while living your own.

Also, I am not verified, because paying money really doesn't say anything about whether you're the person that you say you are. I'd rather have them videocall me to verify my personality.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love the exchange of different cultures. I don't like to spend money on hotel rooms, NOT because it's to expensive, but because I'm not learning about the culture enough. Living with people who are native to the region just can't top that.
I love to exchange and pay in different forms than just money. That's a win-win for both sides. If I just want money, I'd rent my apartment at home out for airbnb.

Interests

I love getting to know new people and I love to explore the world on my own. My friends always say I have a thing for getting people caught up in conversations. They say I mesmerize them, which, we could argue about 😅
As for my passion, dance really got me through every bad situation in life. My main dance styles are Hip Hop and popping. Both freestyle and choreography. We also started a Newstyle-Hustle community in the state that I live in right when the whole COVID thing started. I could definitely bring you along for that.
I also play Tennis a lot in the summer and I do ju jutzu and Thai boxing, so you better watch out!! I'm just kidding I am a really friendly fighter :)
Basically, I am feeding my ADHD with a lot of stuff to maintain sane and seem normal to most 😂

Music, Movies, and Books

I don't read, not because I'm not interested in it, but because of a brain condition, I cannot remember things I see very well. It comes with me having adapted with great auditive skills. I do listen to psychological audio books though.
As for movies, I'm not a movie watcher, I work on set a lot and that got me very picky 😅 I am a huge binge watcher of tv shows though.
As for music, I just love music, that has some depth. Beats that follow a more complicated, playful rhythm and lyrics that have deeper meaning than just sex drive.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Visited Iceland on my own in 2022 for ONE day. I arrived at 6:30 in the morning and left at 7am the next day. Didn't book an accomodation, because coming back from the U.S. that was my way of outsmarting my jetlag. I drove around, snorkeled in the silfra fissure, drove along most of the south coast, had lunch at a huge water fall, got in to an orkan on the black beach, watched a neverending sunset with a stranger as we shared food, before the sun would rise again without it ever getting dark and at 2am I went swimming in an abandoned thermal bath with that exact same stranger, who liked the idea and was crazy enough to accompany me.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer you a photoshoot, as I'm always traveling with my camera. I can also offer you good conversations about meaningful topics, as I love digging deeper into conversations and topics. Furthermore I can go grocery shopping and even cook you some of my specialties. I could also teach you some dance moves. I would even renovate your home with you, I just love to do stuff.
