I have been traveling most of my adult life (since 22). I am a backpacker through and through. I have visited 39 countries, and would love to go back to "most" of them but the experience in everyone of them gave me so much joy. I enjoy dancing to good tunes, laughing way too much, and drinking out with friends every now and then.

I was a pharmaceutical sales rep for 11 years and have decided to travel til I can't travel anymore. I rented my apartment October 2018 and am going to see as much of the world as I can. This trip I have planned Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam, Borneo, and Taiwan.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I was recently introduced to couchsurfing through a travel buddy, and love the opportunity to stay in a locals area. As many travel books as I read, I can never truly get the feeling of a city like through a local. Not that everyone will be able to devote significant time, this is just one aspect of couchsurfing that has intrigued me.

Of course, money is always a factor when traveling so couchsurfing will certainly help in that area too.

All that being said, I think the main reason I would like to couchsurf is to experience true local culture. This is best done living with a local.

Music, Movies, and Books

My two favorite books are Shantaram and Glass Castle; both based on true events. I'm an 80's girl music for sure! I enjoy all kinds of films, but the romantic comedies always make me feel good, like Benny and Joon.
