Hi! I'm Madeline
I'm an adventurer at heart. I love to be outside (well, if the weather is nice lol). I'm a true believer in manifesting what you want in life, although still figuring out how to do that exactly.
Animals... I love them. Nuff said.
I haven't quite figured out how to be successful at being a vegan. Baby steps.
As I became older, I gained many fears. Now when I travel, I try to overcome at least one fear. Last time was snorkeling in the ocean. It was worth it. Swimming with sharks one day is on the list :o
I love learning and experiencing new things. Right now that includes Spanish, writing, surfing, and yoga tricks!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I met some really incredible people in Lima who were on this site. After hearing about all the people they were able to connect with and the new experiences and stories they were able to share, I knew I wanted to get on!
While hostels are great, it does make it a bit hard to meet locals. The best traveling experiences I've had were with friends who knew their way around.
Why not use a platform that I can make lasting friendships and do exactly the samething?
I'm on the lookout for inspirational people.
I would love to grab a drink and share stories and bond :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Just one??
I jumped out of an airplane!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can't teach anyone anything but I can definitely share time and special memories. Stories and experiences.
I'm open to learning anything, especially if it can help around while I'm around.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm great board game player or at least a good spirit.
I could help practice English or inspiration to explore somewhere new. Maybe a yogi partner in crime, dishes... possibilities are endless!
Maybe a cup of coffee, or I can try and cook something for the home? I'm super helpful :)
