Overview
About Me
I'm a born and bred KLite. I enjoy life by filling it with wonderful family and friends. I have travelled and worked abroad and speak multiple languages. You will typically hear a LOUD OMG when I taste good food from any country.
I am well read and opinionated (but not crudely vocal). I enjoy a good conversation with people from all over the globe. I am thoughtful and sensitive to my surroundings, and loyal to those whom I love.
I am the only girl in the family of 6 (my mother passed away in 2007), and it's been rather difficult for my father to let me travel. But, here I am - traveling and living my life!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I am on Couchsurfing, because I want to get to know the locals in the country that I am visiting. I love to eat, and I would like to experience local cuisines, and learn how to cook them too.
I also feel that this is a great place to learn about other people and their traveling, as well as, life experiences. I love listening to stories, and I look forward to hearing and sharing stories with my hosts and guests.
