CURRENT MISSION

I'm trying to live my life to the fullest. :)

ABOUT ME

I'm really bad about describing myself.

I'm shy, but once you get to know me, I can be really outgoing and friendly. I love traveling and want to travel more.

I enjoy helping others and volunteering.

I am respectful of others' beliefs and space. I keep my things organized and clean up after myself.

If you want to get a feel for me, you can check out my Instagram: @HeldineA. You can also check out my puppy's Instagram: @BanditAlora. :)

PHILOSOPHY

"We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give." - Winston Churchill

“Abroad is the place where we stay up late, follow impulse and find ourselves as wide open as when we are in love.” - Pico Iyer

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had a week long WWOOFing experience while I was studying abroad in New Zealand, so I guess that's a form of couch surfing? Other than that, I have never couch surfed. YET.
