CURRENT MISSION

To enjoy life at its fullest.

ABOUT ME

My name is Almendra but you can call me Alme.
I love traveling and meeting new places, people and its culture.
I'm easy to get with and I like to make new friends, I try to be tolerant with other people and I'm easy to adapt on almost every situation or place. I think every person and place is a new opportunity to live life at its fullest. I'm a happy person, full of energy and curiosity, I believe happiness is the best way to start living.
I'm a very sensitive, optimistic, and enthusiastic girl. I'm a dreamer who will do anything to get the dreams done. I want to live life at its fullest.

PHILOSOPHY

-Life gives us experiences that will end so more experiences can come.
-Its a very big world, so you better start traveling if you want to see a bit of it.
-Be good to others and always give them the best honest treat.
-Þetta Reddast! (Don't worry, It will ALL work out one way or another)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I try to attend to people's necessities when I'm hosting someone, and try to make them feel comfortable. If its necessary, I will give you my bed and I'll sleep on the sofa.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
