CURRENT MISSION

Collect Memories, Not Things

ABOUT ME

Hi! My name is Michelle. I'm a multimedia professional. I am a very outgoing person who loves to meet new people and share experiences. I am active and love to be outdoors. I have a passion for culture and languages.

PHILOSOPHY

I live to experience new and exciting things. I'm not worried about making money, I would rather make memories. I live to meet new people and learn about new things. I think that life is too short to put off our real desires for another day.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have surfed and hope to start hosting surfers as well! And I am always talking up the Couchsurfing way of life!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Every CS experience I have had has been awesome. You never know who you will meet or what doors will be opened until you take the leap and put yourself out there!

Music, Movies, and Books

I like all types of music. It really depends on my mood. I can be listening to rock one moment, and the next be listening to classical, or hip hop. I like to mix it up. For movies, I go for the comedies, or documentaries. I like to laugh, but I also want something that makes me think. I tend to read books that open the world up to me. I want to read about experiences that others have had, when I read, I can escape into another time and place.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I could never name just one thing that I have seen or done that is amazing. I have had to opportunity to do some pretty fantastic things, but if I had to say just one amazing thing, I think it would be that I've been able to see the sun rise and set in some of the most beautiful places in the world; over different oceans, mountain ranges, and city-scapes.

Teach, Learn, Share

I dabble in documentary filmmaking, photography, and graphic design. Also, I can cook a mean veggie (and Gluten Free) meal!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to cook for my hosts. Sharing stories over a good meal is always a great way to become friends.
