ABOUT ME

So, I think by now you can look at my references to get an idea about what people think about me or perceive me as...that´s probably better than any description I can write myself...

PHILOSOPHY

Life is too short, just go for it.
Dare to dream.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Tons! Especially since August 2007 - hosting in Macedonia, surfing and meeting in Ireland, India, Italy, etc. Now hosting in good ol' AZ.

Interests

Traveling (obviously), meeting people/ making new friends (obviously), and having fun (of course)... I am addicted to coffee, red wine, chocolate, and karaoke... I like road trips, ferry rides, train rides (esp in India), and long flights as well...the void of space and time during those long trips is regenerative. I am interested in experiencing all that I can and trying new things. I am always eager to learn. Serious stuff...health and the overall well-being of people is a deep interest of mine, as well as international development and women's issues.

Music, Movies, and Books

Green Eggs and Ham is pretty good...:) The Alchemist is classic. My favorite movie would be Life is Beautiful, and as for music, I love the Foo Fighters, Jack Johnson, The Clash, The Cure, The Ramones, The Format, Joy Division, Muse, Weezer, RHCP, Juanes, Julieta Venegas, Belanova, etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Almost getting eaten by a lion in the Maasai Mara in Kenya, but then saved by a brave Maasai warrior who said he would make me his 2nd wife...(A little exaggerated, but basically true :))

Teach, Learn, Share

You´ll never get the opportunity to thank and repay everyone for how much they have done for you to the extent that you would like to thank and repay them. So you really have to pay it forward...
