About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To be the best female stand-up comedian, who is able to dance with a Broadway cast before tasting the finest cuisine in Florence, Italy.

ABOUT ME

The greatest gift you could give to the world is laughter...well, that and money. But laughing is important, so I try to laugh at least 15,000 times a day :). I'll just include random facts about myself in here. I'm a multiracial woman and I love learning about-and interacting with- different cultures!

-Walks are amazing, especially when you can get lost and wander for hours!
-Exploration is key, particularly when you're in a new city
-Being open minded and willing to embrace different cultures is a sure way of meeting amazing people

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love putting on events as well as going to various types of social gatherings/meetings. I'm a social butterfly and love meeting new people

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've met up with a few couchsurfers in the Bay Area and stayed at one host's place. The first was a fantastic experience. The other...well :/. This latter part made me absent from CS for 2 years.

Interests

I love:
Hot Chocolate-one of my favorite things to do in a new city is to find the best hot chocolate. So far I'd say Venetian Hot Chocolate is my favorite. Mexican would be a close second!

Dancing -I dance various styles of dance such as: Egyptian bellydancing, Blues dancing, Argentine tango, hip hop, salsa, ballet, jazz, modern, and Indian dancing. If you want to dance sometime, let me know! I'm really nice and i'm open to any kind of dancing.

Stand-up comedy: when I get the time I love to go on stage and tell jokes. If no one laughs they won't get their bribes.

Walking: I could walk for hours if you know what I mean.

Cooking- it's great when you're inspired and that inspiration leads to a masterpiece rather than a poisonous concoction.

Swimming: I have an affinity for water and if around a pool will probably spend half the day inside one.

Going to see movies: Although movies are crazy expensive now, I love going to the theaters or just having movie nights from time to time. If I can critique the character's motivations, fears, and hopes, the movie is a keeper

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've met amazing people around the world that I hope to remember for the rest of my life.

Teach, Learn, Share

Besides learning and sharing language,I think a major factor of culture is food. I'm always down to cook with others and learn their style of cooking while sharing my own. I mean who doesn't love food!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Baked goods! Whether you want me to bake cookies,pies, cakes or pick up some brotchen, pain au chocolate, or Berliners let me know. I can also share foods I recommend for anyone thinking of traveling to the U.S (along with a place to crash if they come to my city)

Countries I’ve Visited
