About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Searching the world for the perfect doughnut.

ABOUT ME

I'm a nice, easy-going, laid back sort of girl who likes new experiences. I've dedicated the last few years (or so) of my life to traveling, and I always appreciate whenever anyone (friends, friends of friends, family, hosts) lend me a place to rest my head and some nice company.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've definitely stayed on more than a few couches in my travels, sometimes through this website, but usually from people I know or their friends.

The best most random sort of couch surfing experience was in Havana, Cuba. I didn´t have a guide book so I asked this girl on the plane, who I could see had one, how to get from the airport to the city. We agreed to split a cab into the city and when I told her that I didn´t have a place to stay she invited me to stay with her at her friend´s friend´s house. The guy was really cool and let us both stay at his house for a week even though he didn´t even know us. That was such a cool experience and I would love to be able to repeat it and eventually host one day when I finally settle down.
