About Me

Hello! I'm a fun-loving free-spirited pixie of sorts! I have been traveling for the past 2 years mostly throughout Asia. I am now shifting the focus and goal of my travels. I plan to travel throughout Latin America for the next 2+ years. I am interested in learning Spanish, connecting with local people and gaining relevant volunteer and work experience with the creating, building and maintaining of any eco village, hostel or hotel.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have always wanted to couch surf, and now I've just decided to do it! In the past, when I meet and spend time with locals, it really makes the travel experience better! I learn so much and enjoy connecting with people from all over the world. It really has changed my travel experience when I spend more time with people from the area that I am visiting. I want to do more of that, and couch surfing seems like an awesome opportunity for that.

Interests

I LOVE being outside in the sun, exploring, hiking, bike riding etc. I am usually laughing or smiling and enjoy the simple pleasures of life. I am outgoing and adventurous and love to meet new people. I have my quiet moments where I like to relax and read a good book, but who doesn't right? ;-)

Music, Movies, and Books

I like any music I can dance to, and something that has a good beat. I like down-tempo electronic music, drum and bass, some rock music and chillout lounge styles as well. More recently I have really been enjoying going to see live music of all genres.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One highlight of my travels is when I went on a 2 week motorcycle journey through the desert state of Rajasthan in India. I met a local person from the area on Instagram and we made some magical memories together on that trip. Rajasthan is an exotic place full of color and history and l learned so much from traveling with a local, and gaining their perspective and insight on their home country.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share a big smile, positive attitude, stories about my life, home country and travels! I am an open person that loves to learn about others. I tend to ask a lot of questions, and really like connecting with people, in general.
