About Me

I had never even step foot on a plane before the age of 18. One day an old friend called me up and asked if I'd be interested in going to Europe. Since that first trip, travelling has become an insatiable addiction. What began as an excuse to party and get away from my problems, has become so much more. The world is such a beautiful place and whenever I get the chance to experience the history, art, culture, religion and people of an area, I feel extremely blessed.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on couch surfing because I enjoy meeting and getting to know people from different parts of the world. I believe that every country has something amazing to offer, and I generally like most of the people that I have met abroad. The transfer of ideas and thoughts that take place during a basic conversation is what makes travel so much more interesting. Sometimes it's better to touch base with someone who is from a certain country so that they can show you things that you may not be otherwise able to find.

Interests

I enjoy reading, visiting other countries, learning about different cultures and religions, watching T.V shows, playing board games and meeting people.

I enjoy practicing spanish and french with native/fluent speakers. I would love to practice and improve my French, a language that I just learned, but I'm not that great at it so please be patient!!!
