ABOUT ME

My travel blog: gettyonthego.com

I'm an extrovert that likes to have fun and new experiences. I love traveling and my dream is to go to every single countries in the world (I dream big :p). I'm an engineering consultant and work keeps me pretty busy but there is a time for everything. Work Hard, Play Hard. I can enjoy drinking and talking in a calm environment and I can also enjoy going out partying hard in a loud environment. I'm a people person so I'm rarely ever bored with people around. I'm the girl to go up to someone in a bar if I see that they are alone and invite them to my table. I grew up in Africa and moved to Chicago eight years ago and moved to Austin 4 months ago. I'm a very positive, stress free person and I can laugh at about anything including myself. I'm not shy and speak my mind. I love when people think like me but I love it even more when they do not because it is when I can learn the most.

PHILOSOPHY

"The World is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page."
"The best plans are the ones not planned out."
"In the end, it's not going to matter how many breaths you took, but how many moments took your breath away."
"Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we're here we should dance."€
"This is about my legacy. What I do here today echoes through eternity."
"Remember that life is not measured by the amounts of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now I don't host because I'm so busy with work and my place is more easily accessible by car and most surfers in Austin rather drive. I also don't live downtown. But you never know, if you need help, ask and I can see what I can do. No promises.
Write "Bailando" somewhere in your message so I know you read my profile :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first couchsurfing in Milan was AWESOME! Met a really cool italian girl and guy through couchsurfing. I slept at my hotel but had so fun going around the cities with my new friends. It was the best CS experience I ever had. I was hosted in Paris by two very interesting guys although they didn't have quite enough time to hang out. I hosted one girl from korea and another from turkey in Madrid. In Chicago, I have hosted a girl before because her host was living in the suburbs and we had just met but decided to go out that night. It was pretty awesome! I also have enjoyed hanging out with surfers and discovering together!

Interests

I love biking, playing basketball, swimming, talking about anything and everything, DANCING, partying, drinking, smoking hookah/shisha (no drugs),... Nothing really bores me so my interests are infinite.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite artist is David Choi, look him up on youtube :D

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seeing Zongo Falls in my country.
Traveling around Europe by myself for three months
Breathing everyday so far ;)

Teach, Learn, Share

I speak several languages and I'm always willing to teach them. I can make some pretty good Congolese dishes if you're interested in African food. And if I have knowledge on anything, I'm always willing to share that. I'm open to learning just about anything.
You can be stripped of everything you have, but your experiences and knowledge will remain ;)
