CURRENT MISSION

EXPLORER/ADVETURER/NATURELOVER: I want to explore, eat good food, see beautiful nature, take lots of pictures, and spend quality time with quality people [:

ABOUT ME

Hi! My name is Justine and I am currently studying abroad through the UC EAP program. I love to travel and explore different places. I want to travel to as many places as I can before it is too late or I am unable to. I love animals, nature, Christmas time, coffee, my sisters and meeting new people. I also love photography, especially nature photography. I am an amateur photographer hoping to improve my skills!

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in respecting other people's beliefs while being open minded. I believe creativity and self expression is the most important thing in the world. Be who you want to be, not who others think you should be. Hate is a stupid thing <3

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

I generally like indie/pop/rock/alternative music.There are so many movies I enjoy, but some of my favorites are American Beauty, Moulin Rouge, Amelie, Harry Potter, The King's Speech, and Elf.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Probably my favorite thing I've seen in Europe is the Lion of Lucerne, a monument commemorating fallen Swiss guards during the French Revolution. For me, it was the most touching and beautiful monument I have ever seen. Maybe its just because I love animals and feel great sympathy for hurt/injured animals. BUT! there is much more to come! [:

Teach, Learn, Share

My advice to others is just to keep an open mind and be respectful. Take any opportunity that you can to learn and grow because you don't know if/when you will get that chance again.
