About Me

Im a warm hearted, fun loving, relaxed individual. I love meeting new people and experiencing new places. Adventure is the key word.
Im neat and have utmost respect for people and their property.
Im young at heart, silly and shy but mostly bubbly and friendly. Love yoga, swimming, animals, good food, great interesting company, music, festivals, dancing and nature.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have travelled all over the world and always stay in back packers, which I love because you meet like minded people. I do however feel that you can experience more of the culture of a country by being hosted by a local, that you can share your different worlds with, make a connection and obviously will be pointed out the road less traveled by tourist, and the best local places to eat!

I refuse to stay in Hotels, not because of pricing but because I find it cold and impersonal. Can't wait for my first Couchsurfing trip!

Interests

Good Food, Good Friends, Traveling, Hiking, Yoga, Running, Swimming, Surfing.
Love good movies and when I travel to read books. A Busy little bumble bee that love my job so never able to just relax and read a books when Im working.
Interested in the world and people and what makes us tick.
