About Me

CURRENT MISSION

decorating my face with laugh lines

ABOUT ME

I´m a pretty low maintenance kind of girl, and I get a lot of pleasure out of the little things in life. I´m a sucker for cute animals (especially dogs), and of course babies. I´ve been a vegetarian for over a decade now, but I don´t have a problem with meat eaters. I laugh a lot, sometimes rather loudly. I guess I have a tendency to overreact at times, but I like to think that it's just because I´m a very passionate person. : )

PHILOSOPHY

The Golden Rule is a pretty good one, I guess.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

hosting, surfing, group meet ups...all good times.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couch surfing has certainly enriched my travel experiences, even before I was an official couchsurfer.

Interests

travel, language and different cultures, people, music, movies, photography, motorbikes, animals, yummy vegetarian food, the outdoors, board games, laughing, hugs, and all the little things that inspire me on a given day.

Music, Movies, and Books

yes, please! I have so many favorites...if it's quirky and makes me laugh, or rips my heart out, I'm a fan. If it does both, even better!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Peering down into the fiery mouth of an active volcano in Guatemala was pretty amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

There's certainly something you can learn from everyone and I am continually learning new things from great people. I would love to learn more about languages, cooking (vegetarian), history, music, etc.

If you want to learn about English or Spanish grammar, I'm your girl. :) (maybe other tid bits too)
