I am a mental health social worker .
I love to dance, travel, meet new people and explore this amazing planet!
I enjoy all latin dances-especially Dominican bachata, and love Angolan kizomba, or any afro-cuban music and dance! Many of my global friends I have met through dance teams, congresses and travelling. I also enjoy yoga, meditation, anything outdoors, exploring, and being active.

I am very friendly, clean, respectful, and mature, have been nicknamed Lu Ning Ning (sparkly) by a former Philippino student/friend, and Alegria (joyful) recently in Peru-I'll take it ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy learning from local hosts, making new memories and new global friends, and welcoming explorers to my home as well!

Music, Movies, and Books

I rarely watch TV, but love a range of movies and just watch Netflix when home-I lately got further inspired to travel towards Europe and the African continent after watching several documentary shows...Got bitten by the travel bug again :)
I love latin music, reggae, kizomba, and a blend of just about everything else. Wide range of music!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm a licensed skydiver, and have skydived at night with glow sticks on my helmet :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I've taught 2 friends to ride a motorbike; I rode a bike 8 years before owning a car.
I've been on dance teams (salsa-cuban rueda, bellydance, and Kizomba), and taught bellydance, bachata and salsa.
I want to practice and relearn my French and learn more Spanish.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My love of dance, travel stories, practicing languages and having fun adventures together. I love cooking healthy meals and enjoy new cultural dishes!

I'm willing to often drive to surrounding areas, with help paying the gas- I go often but it is adding up!! ;)
