Resumen
Sobre mí
CURRENT MISSION
to see the world !
ABOUT ME
I'm the type of person who makes a really intensely researched itinerary when traveling, but only does one thing on it & then throws it away to just let the day happen. I am an artist living in Toledo, Spain. I'm more comfortable in a quiet place where I can relax with coffee and a good conversation. I do enjoy a good night out bar hopping & dancing but tend to avoid party hostels (yikes not my comfort zone/happy place). I love seeing new cultures and learning about all the beautiful places this amazing world has. I'm a bookworm art kid vegetarian music lover by heart ,and I love having new experiences and traveling.

PHILOSOPHY
Love each other, think for yourself, live & learn because life is amazing. I think it's important to be open to new things but to not forget where you came from. I want to live a life I am proud of full of love, fun, learning, good people, good food, and good travels !

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I'm shy but I'm good company, I love to talk about anything and everything! I'm not the best cook but I can help out, I've been a strict vegetarian for over 10 years and so have learned my way around a kitchen somewhat. I must be ok, people ask me to teach them simple things I cook... I got my roommate hooked on green smoothies and homemade lentil veggie soup.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I don't know what to say, except...why did I wait so long to do this? What was I afraid of? Couchsurfing is such an enriching experience I can not stop talking about couchsurfing and recommending it to all my friends!
