About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To find my little corner of happiness and lead a simple but fun life

ABOUT ME

I'm pretty chilled out, chatty and easy to get along with most of the time. The older i get the more i learn to take life as it comes and enjoy each bit for what it is. I love meeting new people and introducing people to the town and the people that i love.

PHILOSOPHY

We are all on a mission of constant self improvement and the more experiences we have and share the better people we will become. 'Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind'

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hosted some people when I lived in Bristol, UK and really enjoyed it. Next, I moved to Montpellier in France where I had a really great CS experience with surfers and the group, which was fantastic. Now I am in Spain and I can't wait to start hosting again

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
