CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy life, stay true to myself and help people on the way.

ABOUT ME

I named myself Coco when I was one year old. Family and friends are very important to me. I love music. I am a twin. I like to enjoy the simple things in life. I like to spend time out in nature. I like exploring new places, new cultures and new ideas. Some say I have an odd sense of humor. I often take things way too literally. I was taught to be grateful for what I have. I grew up in a remote part of British Columbia, with two sisters and one brother, climbing mountains and building tree-forts surrounding my Parent´s farm. My parents brought me traveling at a young age and I have loved it ever since. It´s been a wonderful and memorable journey so far.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is full of wonderful and interesting things. We should enjoy life to the fullest. Every experience has brought us to the next and made us more ready and able to greet the new experience with confidence and an open mind.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to build real friendships, to connect with people, I want to explore, to experience, to grow, to learn, and to travel to find new and intriguing experiences.

I love having fun with friends and family. I love reading. I love exploring. I love working hard, and helping people. I can´t wait for more interests to unfold.
