My name is Marié, I am 26 years old and currently live in Florida. I am a Flight Attendant, but in my free time I love to write, exercise, and to be outside, especially at the beach. I have moved around quite a bit in my life, and plan on making another big move soon! My ultimate dreams in life are to someday open an animal sanctuary, to be a published author, and to find ways to help heal those who are suffering and help them find their light. I am very willing to try new things and am always excited for new adventures :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am looking to travel more in my free time, but I want to get a real sense of the places I go. I don't want to arrive in a new country and get caught up only in the surface, tourist experience, I would like to get a more authentic understanding of the places. I see how strong of a community Couchsurfing has become and I think it is so wonderful that people are generous and kind enough to open their homes; I'd like to be a part of that.

Music, Movies, and Books

My all time favorite genre of music is Reggae but as long as a song sounds good, makes me think or makes me want to dance or sing, then I don't care what genre it is! There are so many amazing movies, but some of my favorites are Beauty and the Beast, Good Will Hunting and Wind River. I am constantly reading many books at once, but my favorite author is Maya Angelou.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

This is a tough one to answer, but there is one thing that sticks out to me. I haven't completed it yet, but my Father and I are currently working on a children's book. We came up with the idea when I was around 5 years old and are finally working on it. Our dream is to get it published so fingers crossed and stay tuned!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Kindness and compassion are the central pillars with which I have built my life. As much as possible, I try to embody these qualities with everything I do and everyone I meet. I am a positive person and very open to learning about new things and meeting new people; everyone has something magical to offer! What I can share with hosts is my openness to try new things and to learn from others, while also being considerate and respecting of their needs and their space.
