CURRENT MISSION

Travel light. Live light. Spread the light. Be the light.

ABOUT ME

I love to laugh. I have curly hair. I am content and joyful in this life because I know who I'm living for. :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Mostly participating in the local events in Prague. Sometimes traveling and sometimes hosting.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've surfed a few times and they've all been good experiences. I've also done a few events with the CS Prague and CS Brno groups-hiking and wine tasting and such. In May of 2011 I went to a big CS event in Palermo, Sicily hosted by CS Prague and CS Palermo. :) It was a lot of fun!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've built a playground for children in Macedonia.
I've dug a well and plastered walls at a community center in Thailand. I've led English songs and camps in Jamaica and Costa Rica. I've gutted-out houses in New Orleans, LA after Hurricane Katrina. I've been massaged by an elephant. I've been thrown off a horse. I've jumped off a train. I've seen lives transformed. I've felt the peace and love of God over me. Life is beautiful.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to bellydance. I can teach you how to bake. I can teach you how to make an alligator with your hands. I can teach you how to play Dutch Blitz (a card game). I would love to learn more Italian.
