“A stranger is just a friend you haven’t met yet” ☺️
I literally live by this + believe it!

Hi! My name is Lyda - My mission in life is to never stop learning, growing, spreading positivity and joy!

I enjoy simple living, meeting new people, traveling, being intentional with my time and spontaneous adventures! I am passionate about love + life and what this world has to offer and super grateful to have found a community who feels the same! It's truly the little things that are fulfilling -

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on CS to make life long connection + friendships and to immerse myself into culture and experiences because why not?? There are so many beautiful people on this wondrous world called earth - and I'm on a journey to discover and learn!

This past year (December 2017) a friend invited me to a couch surfing event on Christmas Eve (Thanks Rick!) and I had no idea what this community was until my arrival. I instantly felt at home and connected to this community. Because of this experience, I am passionate about meeting new people in all walks of life and desire to spread the same hospitality my parents/friends have showered me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

to be fully content with adventuring on my own and finding meaningful happiness within myself. This past year, I practiced self love by doing everyday things such as going to the movies, attending a concert, fine dining, traveling, and being in complete solitude alone.

I am warm, bubbly, adventurous, very adaptable, and like to think I'm "the best" tour guide! I’m a wonderful cook as well! I’m told I’m wise beyond my years, but I am still a kid at heart - it’s a great balance!
