Overview
About Me
I am an open minded and carefree individual who appreciates all that is in front of her. There is not a time when I am not emanating a smile or laughing uncontrollably, because the worst way to waste time is being unhappy.
I work as a UX Designer for a consulting company, so I'm used to getting shipped to far away places and making friends with those around me. I like solving puzzles, getting to know people, and seeing things from a different angle.
I took a bit of a hiatus from Couchsurfing, but I'm looking to get back into the community. :)
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I, personally, love the feeling of slowly being assimilated into a city's lifestyle and becoming a temporary local. With couchsurfing, you get more than just a couch - you get an opportunity to enter a gateway of someone's life and a city's raw center (something a travel book cannot cover).

Teach, Learn, Share
Teaching optimism and perseverance - we all are capable of so much, in my eyes.
Learning about all I have still not yet been exposed to.
Sharing opinions.
