CURRENT MISSION

To take on the world with no fear, just my backpack - my map - and my friends. Just another explorer, you can call me Dora ;)

ABOUT ME

I am a wandering adventurer. I love to travel and meet new people. I love hearing and learning from other peoples lives and experiences. I am young and I have a lot to learn. New experiences excite and frighten me all at the same time. I love the buzzing feeling I get from trying new things, although sometimes that feeling can get overwhelming ( for example, I get scared frozen from being high in the air).

One of my main goals in this life is to leave free of fear.

I am honest and can be generous. I've done a lot of traveling, but mostly with my family and mostly in the United States. This summer my best friend and I plan on backpacking around as much of the Eastern side of the world as we can, until we run out of funds ;)

PHILOSOPHY

I want to more often than not be incandescently happy and on the days I find myself in times of trouble I want to learn to sing the blues.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want to learn how to surf and play guitar.
I love singing and hearing others sing and play music.
I read quite a bit.
I sleep, a lot. "You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one."

"I am a jack of all trades, but a master of none."

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was born June 21st.

Scuba diving is phenomenal.
Driving fast is exhilarating.

Becoming acquainted with new people and things is what drives me in life.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am an intense lover of the water. I can teach anyone to swim. I can teach English - reading, writing, conversational practice.

I'm good at organizing, so I could help with that.
I love playing with hair - so I could teach someone to braid hair, or just help someone relax by playing with their hair.

I love to cook - I am no expert, but I would definitely love to cook with someone.

I would love to learn to speak other languages, I know minimal spanish and french.
I would love to learn to dance and to sing well.

If you have somehting to teach, I am almost certain I would enjoy learning or trying to learn it.
