CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy life as it comes to me.

ABOUT ME

I am a happy, energetic, easy-going type of person. I enjoy meeting new people and trying new things. I get along with 99.9% of people I meet and thoroughly enjoy their company. I lack a social filter so sometimes it may seem I am a bit too abrupt with people, but really I'm just honest because that's the way I think people should be. I am tapping into my "free-spirit" and am trying to let go to see where life will take me and what it has in store for me.

PHILOSOPHY

Be true to yourself. Go with your gut. Be honest. Enjoy the little things. Smile. Laugh. I don't know... I guess just do what you do.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Host and surf. I like it. I love it. I want more of it.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

No words can begin to express the way CS has changed my life. It is amazing if you understand and respect the philosophy behind it. I have met the most amazing people through CS and I am so grateful because each encounter has changed my life for the better.

Interests

I love so many things, but I guess the main ones are: dance, music, books, hanging out with family and friends, swimming (and other water-type adventures), hiking, rock climbing, watching sunsets, riding bikes, walking on the beach... In no particular order, except dance - its always been my #1.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Getting a 4 hour individualized, all in Italian, behind the scenes tour of Pompeii for free during my solo visit to Italy in 2012. It was amazing that I actually understood everything my guide told me. Unfortunately for him I understand more Italian than I speak. I learned so much and it was the highlight of my trip.

Teach, Learn, Share

I don't have a particular trade... I can help you with your English if you want to improve your English. I can teach you how to dance (ballet, jazz, tap, salsa, etc...). I don't know, I guess we can just share what we know about the world when we meet and hopefully we can take something away from our meeting.
