About Me

This is always hard to write since I'm constantly changing... What foreign I know for sure is, I'm down to earth and enjoy the little things. I've had my share of party days but have calm down a lot the past couple of years. Doesn't mean I can't go for a few drinks though! Spontaneous shenanigans are welcome also haha I like to do different things (Things that I wouldn't have imagine myself doing) especially if I'm traveling. I feel like thats the point of traveling besides "sight seeing". I want to interact with locals, vibe to their beat of their drum. Learn about their culture and leave with new friends. My passion for travel has grown so much. My curiosity drives me to go and search for whatever it is that pulling me in. I'm sure we all could agree on that.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I participate by being as hospitable as I can with all my guest. Giving them a nice comfy couch, at one point a whole room for themselves and access to the whole house. Since I happen to have a community house (Basically, my friends are in and out my house even when I'm not home) we'll have a large feast at home with food, beers, wine and instruments!

While I travel I love to cook for my host. A way to repay a much appreciated favor. And of course always being courteous by being respectful with their house rules (if they have) and keeping my things neat and out the way.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far, so good! Can't wait to continue new experiences that will lead to other great experiences. I love the fact that this website is for that reason. So that people meet others and make long lasting friendships.

* Unfortunately my reply % is a bit low due to when I travel I don't always have time to reply because I'm not on a laptop. I try my best though!! You can sometimes FB message me *

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've seen some beautiful landscapes everywhere I've traveled. One of the things I can say was amazing was living in the jungle (Iquitos, Amazon, Peru) for a week with my best friend. We stayed with some of the natives, which were amazing people. Teaches you a thing or two about simple living and love for family and friends. Also Machu Picchu, breath taking view! North of Chile in the desert.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm about to start doing more traveling on my own so that I can focus on learning about myself as well as others. I feel that everyone that I'll cross paths with will give me some type of wisdom to continue on my journey. Visa versa. Everyday will be a learning experience with whoever I am with.
