About Me

ABOUT ME

I am a software engineering student, constantly working and travelling at every chance I get. I would say that I am a friendly, trustworthy and independent girl who is fearless, and up for challenges. I enjoy spending time with my friends and family and learning about everything I possibly can.

PHILOSOPHY

My philosophy is to just do what ever makes you happy. That simple. If what your doing does not make you happy stop.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At the moment I am a student so I am able to host on the occasion. I am available to meet and show people around! For the most part I am travelling and trying to couch surf as much as possible!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

When I couched surfed in London, it was a fantastic experience. My friend and I just arrived from Ghana, and after getting lost and completely overwhelmed from being in a whole new culture we spent an amazing 6 days with a gracious host. After there I met some friends in Amsterdam, where we couch surfed there for 6 days, finishing off our trip in Paris where we stayed another 6 days. It was an amazing experience, meet so many new friends and shared many tales of many things. Later on I spent many months couch surfing throughout Italy, and was able to see and experience so many more things than I ever would of thought. I am so thankful for all the host, and people I have met through couch surfing and hope to be able to host sometime in the future! After that experience I travelled though the east of expose stopping and couchsufing in Berlin and Brussels!

Interests

I am a active person, I love all sports, in particular skiing. I Spend a lot of time traveling and going on adventures. On my spare time I enjoy a good book in a beautiful forest, dancing, hiking, biking, swimming, being outdoors in general, listing to music, and being in good company.

Music, Movies, and Books

As far as music goes I could go on forever, but the good go to's are: The stones, doors, Xavier Rudd, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Simon and Garfunkel, Bon Iver, Joni Mitchell, The Head and the Heart, Daft Punk, Alt-J, Bob Dylan, Rudimental... I really should stop here! I have been reading a few books right now but I haven't loved any of them recently, however my all time favorite would be On the road, and fear and loathing in Las Vegas.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was traveling down to cape coast from Akim Achiases, in Ghana. My friend and i were in our shanty tro-tro travelling along a pot-ridden road. And the car in front of us all of sudden crashed into the forest. Without even thinking, our driver stop the car and everyone got out of the tro-tro and went down to push the car back up to the road. It happened so fast, with-in two minutes the battered car was on the side of the road with all the people in it fine. It really made me think how self-less people naturally are, or can be.

Teach, Learn, Share

When you go to viste a place, why are you there? To take a picture of a building? Who, or what told you to go there?

For me travelling is about learning about more than its physical features, but about the culture, and what makes that places diffrent or intersting.

When planning a trip, you should'nt look at what you should see, or what people expect you to see. It should be about what you really want to see, or to do. Even if it is not intersting to anyone else but your self.
