Take the personality of Minnie Mouse, add some sass, throw in a love for hugs, art, coffee, and living - and that's about me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

In a perfect world I would write: "to meet interesting people, have a few laughs, and gain a local perspective of places I visit."
But in an honest world I would have to add, "I travel alone and I like sleeping in a place where someone else can call an ambulance in case of a freak shower-soap-situation."
