CURRENT MISSION

Capture the beauty of countries, with my camera, and bring them back to show my class.

ABOUT ME

I love life and everything about it. I am a very peace loving person with a big heart. This is probably why I chose to be a teacher. I love to meet new people and learn everything about them. New places fascinate me! I may be addicted to traveling. If so, I hope there's no cure! I am very, very active, but sometimes I like to be lazy. When I'm feeling active, I like to (party, drink, play soccer, tennis, skateboard and cook) My idea of taking it easy includes coffee and a great conversation with friends.

PHILOSOPHY

Everyday must start with a smile. Smile, even if there's nothing to smile about. Bring peace to your world and then spread it :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love meeting people from other cultures and places. I hope to meet many great people during my first CS adventure and I hope to one day have a couch to offer to others!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Besides CSing, I have lived in Italy and Japan. Those were done in hostels.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Been to Tokyo and lived in Italy. Being a teacher, I touch the lives of hundreds of students a day. Often, I leave work with a smile on my face. Not many jobs can provide this kind of satisfaction.

Teach, Learn, Share

To teach: I love to share my experiences with others. I'm a teacher, so I teach all day! Mostly, I teach Social Studies.
To learn: I love to learn. I am always willing and prepared to learn. I am very open minded.
To share: Myself and my music. I love cooking for people and sharing recipes. I also like sharing my time with friends.
