Hi! My name is Danielle. I am 32 years old and have 2 amazing daughters, ages 11 and 15. After experiencing a tragic loss in our family, we have decided to embark on a world traveling adventure. Life is short and beautiful and we want to live it to the fullest! My 15-year old will be staying behind for school most of the time. Thus, I will only be traveling with my 11-year old for the majority of our journeys. We are both friendly, outgoing, respectful, clean, responsible, and kind. We also both make friends wherever we go...airplanes, park benches, etc. We are not hosting right now because we are staying with a friend until we are ready to leave for our travels.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My cousin / fellow world traveler referred me to Couchsurfing and told me she has many good memories and has met so many new friends through couchsurfing. I think it's an amazing way to meet people. My cousin also shared that Couchsurfing has allowed her to travel more by reducing the amount of money she would have had to spend on accommodations.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all kinds of music but some of my favorite genres are Dancehall; Reggae; Hip Hop; R&B, Indie, Downtempo/Ambient, Meditation Music.

I don't watch many movies anymore but I like watching documentaries and have enjoyed Avatar; The Notebook; Cast Away; Superbad; The Goonies; and many more I cannot think of at the moment.

Some of my favorite books are The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle; the Harry Potter series; Be Here Now by Ram Dass; and Strangely Like War by Derrick Jensen. It's very hard for me to get through an entire book before I am on to the next one!
