CURRENT MISSION
To get to know myself and the world as it really is, not as just an idea.

ABOUT ME
I love learning languages and about other cultures and other ways of life. I love food, good conversations, music and dancing, making friends and fostering deeper compassion and understanding about the world and those who live on her.

I want to make many friends and help many people on our journeys to become the best people we can be.

PHILOSOPHY

Treat everyone with kindness because you never know what battle they are fighting.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have only had amazing experience so far Couchsurfing. Meeting new people and making new friends.

I am on Couchsurfing to get to know people and have a deeper experience of this world of ours. I want to experience what the locals experience, speak their language and learn to see their world as they do.
