Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
It is impossible to travel faster than the speed of light and certainly not desirable as one's hat keeps blowing off-Woody Allen
ABOUT ME
How to describe myself? I think I am all about improving myself by learning as much as possible from other cultures and people. I have never travelled independently and I desperately wanted to do so before I got snagged into another life project! So here I am..going where many have gone before but it all seems wonderful and new to me!
PHILOSOPHY
"there are many shortcuts to happiness..dancing is one of them"
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I have been fortunate enough to host some lovely folks on my coach and have made really good friends. Now I am looking forward to staying with people in their countries! I have travelled from Africa to Asia and now I'm in North-America. Having lived in Vancouver for a couple of months, I am slowly making my way back East to see more of this amazing continent!
