CURRENT MISSION

Happines in my speciality...creating it and spreading it thick like butter on hot toast

ABOUT ME

I'm always happy and positive and loooove meeting people and learning about life. I love to travel~ my favorite travel experiences revolve around good food, good coffee and great company. Sharing a smile and a laugh with a complete stranger, often without words, over food at a street vendor are my favorite moments in time!

PHILOSOPHY

Happiness is a choice.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At the moment I am travelling and exploring the world of couchsurfing- I’m intrigued as to why individuals want to open their homes and lives to strangers. I think it’s a beautiful thing, helping the world become more of a community. When I finally get home I want to host people and repay the kindness and generosity bestowed upon me and my friends via couchsurfing:)

Interests

So many things: I have a Fisheye camera and love experimenting with it, I LOOOVE anything to do with food- eating it, discussing it, reading about it, dreaming of it, cooking it, buying it, sharing it, you name it and I will most likely love it. I love to read- my most recent favorites including Ishmael, The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari, and my most recent A Complicated Kindness. I’m always looking for my next good read:)I love (but am not very good at) snowboarding...amongst many many other things that make me happy:)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Skydived in Byron & Buenos Aires! Nothing comes close to that feeling!

Too many amazing sights to list! The latest and greatest experience was La Bomba del Tiempo in BA...one of life’s "must see" experiences! Also a soccer match in Boca, BA!

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: I know its cliché but life and all of its surprises are only ever as much as you make it. Try to look for the positive, and if you cant, look for the lesson. I live my life like this and am constantly surprised at how happy and fulfilling my life is.
Learn: I want to learn learn learn...lessons on love, cooking sharing, how other people live, notions of how we can live a life that is more in tune with mother nature rather than mother culture.
Share: I want to share food and cooking like it is meant to be.
