About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To give back to Couchsurfing :)

ABOUT ME

Hi

This is Sophie. I'm stealing my boyfriends CS history as we have recently started living together and want to host people together.

This is my first experience of CS, but Chris has been doing it for years - he couchsurfed all over south america and has hosted various people in his previous flat.

I wanted to do it, as I am very curious about other cultures, and want to improve my spanish.

I love dancing, and Chris tells me I dance salsa very well. Maybe I have some Latin blood in me somewhere :)
I also like cooking oriental food, reading and watching documentaries.

As Chris works a lot these days I'll probably be the one who is around more, hence why I have taken over his profile :)

Looking forward to my first CS experience.

Hola

Soy Sophie, y vivo con mi novio Chris. El ha estado en la comunidad de CS por anos, yo soy un principiante :)

El ha viajado por sudamerica y hizo CS en muchos lugares, Tambien el ha ayudado a unas personas en londres.

A mi me gusta bailar (Chris me dice q soy una buena salsera :) ), cocinar, leer y ver documentarios.

Chris trabaja mucho ahora, por eso robo su perfil. Yo estaria en casa mucho mas q el.

Estoy emocionado de tener mi primer experiencia de CS.

PHILOSOPHY

Be honest with yourself and others, do what is in your power to help others less fortunate than yourself, and when you've finished with all that never forget that life is there to be enjoyed!

Tener respeto para el mundo y la naturaleza, vivir en el presente, intentar de no juzgar otras personas, dar de tu vida a la gente quien necesita tu ayuda, disfruta la vida!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

visited 26 states (11.5%)Create your own visited map of The World

One of the most amazing things I've seen is a lunar eclipse in South Africa in a deserted little town. The sky turned pitch black, there were no lights anywhere and I could see every star in the sky....Amazing! The moon turned a bizarre shade of yellow too which reminded me of the old children's tv show 'Button Moon' from the UK.

Un eclipse lunar en SudAfrica - tan tan lindo!!
