PHILOSOPHY

I have a few mottos that mean a lot to me:

- Believe in yourself
- Karma: keep your circle positive
- Carpe Diem
- Girl Power :p (what? Its part of my personal philosophy)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I must confess that I wasn't a big fan of CS when I joined almost 10 years ago ;p

I deleted my account because all the dating spam I was receiving... and keep just HC (Hospitality Club) but since HC is sucking BIG TIME, I am gonna give this a try again!
Still, check my profile in HC, where I have all my contacts/connections (and please bare in mind I host more than 200 back with HC):

I have been in this "hospitality world" for over 10 years... while in HC, during 2005 and 2006 alone, I hosted over 50 people..

Anyway, so far, between CS and HC I have hosted more then 200 people and I have been a guest myself more than 100 times.
In HC I used to be volunteer for like 34975 different things lol and I used to organize meetings all the time... miss those days :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

hermm actually LOADS because 90% of my HC host and guests were also in CS.. I guess I need to find them around here now.. damn, is gonna take a while!!!!

Interests

My biggest passions are:

People - my family, friends and everyone really.... love meeting new people and understand different cultures.

Music - I start singing when I was 5 and the first money I ever made was singing... and did it professionally until I was in my middle twenties, so music is one of the biggest parts of my life. Truly eclectic and open minded!
Music - listening, singing, producing, dancing... its who I am and i need it as much as I need water or oxygen.

Travel - lol comes as no surprise I guess but yeah, travel makes me feel alive and grounded. Got the bug when I was 9 during my first big trip and it never leaved my body ever since and I have a feeling it never will :)

Adventure - yeah, I do love some adventure and trouble... makes life more exciting... oh and is not like I am looking after it... trouble always finds me :p

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I try do amazing things everyday.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a true HC/CS whatever adept, yeah, we definitely can learn a LOT mixing with other cultures. I did.
