About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Basically I want to live...... REally live..... I want to connect, and share a story with any person who has anything to offer to me and I to them. All while finishing grad school :)

ABOUT ME

Well.... I am Kasondra. I am a fun, light hearted woman who is exploring the world as it comes. I think that every bad situation has a positive aspect and we can always find good in everything. Though I have learned that this is a lot easier said than done. But practice makes perfect! I love to travel and I love learning about different cultures both internationally and domestically. I am very respectful and leave only a footprint of friendship where I stay.

PHILOSOPHY

Staying in the present moment. Living fully present. Open honest communication.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have hosted a couple dozen people and have learned something from them and about myself almost every time. I have surfed all through Mexico and Europe.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I stayed with wonderful people in mexico. My travels would not have been the same without your company and hospitality.
There are many people who changed my life. I am grateful to have spent shared nights with, had meaningful talks with, and experience new places with all of those I have stayed with.
Thank you RUDY!

Interests

I love to learn, take long walks, look at the ocean, have random conversations and make connections with people I thought I might never talk with, dance (salsa and other latin dances), dance like no one is watching, play the harmonica, juggling and more juggling and good fresh fruits and veggies.
I enjoy learning about health, food, the body. Oh and Linguistics!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I stayed for a few nights in an isolated town in vietnam where we slept on bamboo floors and with nets over us to keep the bugs off. And in this town we worked to build a simple home for a family who had next to nothing. The best part of eating dinner inside the new house with the entire town (some 20 people) and blessing the new home.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach some silly things like juggling or some yoga. But I like to talk about life experiences and ideas.
