Resumen
Sobre mí
CURRENT MISSION
To travel as much of the world as possible, meet new people, keep an open mind and learn about other cultures.
I was born in Kent, England and my dad is from Colombia, South America, but I grew up majority of my life in the United States- I just have such a desire to travel and see the world, and experience new cultures!!
I have a twin sister, and she and I have done a lot of travelling together so far! When people first meet me, I can be soft spoken at first, but I love to be in different environments and being out of my comfort zone. While I was doing my undergrad, I lived in an international dorm- and was able to meet people from all over the world and gain some of the best friendships!
Currently, I work as a bartender San Francisco, California in order to have flexibility so i can just go off and travel -- Office jobs really do not appeal to me!!
Also, i am a cellist , going on 17 years now and just love to continue to learn new skills and expand my knowledge about the world around me...
but the small things in life are what I most live for!! -Those unexpected serendipitous moments that can change life as we know it!
PHILOSOPHY
I believe every person has a story, and are who they are based on experiences that they have. It is best to listen to others and keep an open mind so that you learn from others- people are constantly changing and improving.
I just like to treat any person that i meet with respect and kindness- knowing that it is much easier to smile than to frown..so i am normally found with a smile on my face.
Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
My main goal is to meet people, after all strangers are just friends we don't know yet! This site is also really great to experience different cultures and explore countries from a local perspective rather than as a touristic one..to be a world blazer and meet those who share this passion of mine!
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I traveled a few years ago with my twin sister and some friends - we used couch surfing in Portugal, and Belgium. Both were wonderful experiences, where we got a good insight into the country we were in- thanks to this site. We spent some nights cooking with hosts, and got a good feel of these countries- both, unforgettable experiences!
Intereses
I am a huge music fanatic... I love sports and athletic activities. I also enjoy good conversation about past experiences, dreams, goals etc... Extreme sports, and just keeping an open-mind and be willing to try almost anything once.
