About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy life, meet new people and find out what to do next

ABOUT ME

I'm social and talk a lot. I love to meet new people and talk with them and learn from them. I believe there's no One Right Way to live your life and people sometimes say it's irritating how I always want to understand every one even if I don't accept their behaviour. For me life's an adventure and full of possibilities.

PHILOSOPHY

There are no black or white -only different shades of grey

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

So far I've only been offering a couch.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm also a member of Hospitality Club and we've stayed with wonderful people in Toronto, New Zealand and Japan. No guide book is as good as local people when it's about learning about the culture and mentality of a new place/country.

Interests

I'm interested in history, flamenco, cats, travelling, cooking, exploring life, meeting new interesting people and learning from them to see the world from another perspective.

Music, Movies, and Books

I hate violence so my favorite movies are Ice Age 2 and 3 (much better than the first), Way Home and European comedies. As long as there'a a happy ending. I listen to all kinds of music except rap and like historical novels.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

6 months backpacking around the world with my husband. We saw and did so many amazing things and met unbelievingly great people from all parts of this planet.

It was also great to live in Belfast, Northern Ireland studying Irish history and sharing the flat with other students from around Europe. The experience was something no money can buy..
