CURRENT MISSION

To make the world my backyard.

ABOUT ME

My name is Krista. I am from Bermuda and am currently living in Spain until June. While I'm in Europe I'd like to see all it has to offer and make new friends along the way.

I was born in New York, grew up in Bermuda and went to university in Canada.

As a restless 20something I want to see the world before my knees give out/ before a mortgage creeps up on me/ while I can get youth discounts.

I am quite shy and quiet, but I like a good laugh and a tall drink.

My favourite thing about traveling is discovering, time and again, that despite all the little difference essentially we are all the same(ish).

PHILOSOPHY

Eat, drink and be merry, for... (you know the rest)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am a new official member to the CouchSurfing community, but have participated with friends and through friends accounts in the past. I understand the will to travel on a budget (being 23 and "not rich" myself) and am willing to make the world a bit more cozy for those who want to see it without breaking bank.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have CouchSurfed through CouchSurfing on two occasions but through a friend's account (in Brussels and in Amsterdam). Other than that I have been the occupant of many a spare bed and couch in my lifetime. From my Aunt's couch in New York, to that of an ex- work colleague in London, to friends' unoccupied beds during frigid Canadian winters and weekend trips in Spain.

I love Couchsurfing because it can add so much to your trip- often times more than a hostel and especially more than a hotel could ever offer. I mean, you don't know a place until you know its people- right?!

Interests

Traveling, Culture, Food (nothing describes a city and its people like a traditional meal from the area).

• culture
• dining
• drinking
• traveling

Music, Movies, and Books

My favourite movies are The Shawshank Redemption, Kill Bill and Kiki's Delivery Service. I don't know what that says about me.

As for music, I am a fan of anything you can ´get your dance on´ to.

Teach, Learn, Share

Don't mix vodka and whiskey- Just don't do it.
