CURRENT MISSION

to move confidently in the direction of my dreams, and to live the life I've imagined.

ABOUT ME

I am a hopeless dreamer, an idealist, a believer in beauty and truth. I crave adventure and knowledge, laughter and love. My aspirations are sky high, my head always in the clouds - but my feet are on the ground and they get me to where I want to be. I work hard and I hope for the best, taking comfort in the fact that things normally have a way of working out.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've gotten to surf on a few couches now and had amazing experiences with each one. The kindness and generosity I've received has been inspiring. I'm back home now, studying for my masters and working hard before I can fly away again. I'm looking forward to having my own place soon and being able to host for a change =)

Interests

I love coffee and dark chocolate, dancing, live music, bonfires, movies and books. I love to explore and discover hidden treasures and places. I enjoy photography, art, theater, hiking, kayaking, and anything fun.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

There was a moment in Chefchaouen, Morocco when I was drinking their green/mint tea in a restaurant up on hill and I could see the entire city...and then the people started chanting their daily prayers. It was chilling and magical all at once. Very cool. I also got to ride a camel in Morocco!

I also spent 10 months backpacking through South America last year and it was amazing, all of it!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd love to learn how to cook or more about digital photography, history, or anything you're passionate about or find fascinating.
