About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To have experiences good enough to impress my future grandkids!

ABOUT ME

I love life and want to experience what it has to offer in as many different places as possible. I'm happy, bubbly, passionate and strong-willed.

PHILOSOPHY

Live every day as if it is your last... because one day you'll be right

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have hosted people in South Korea, have been hosted all around China, Russia and Italy and hosted people in Guadeloupe in the Caribbean.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Hosting, surfing, CS gatherings, friends who are CSers...

PS I'm no longer with Robbie who is mentioned in the references but hopefully I'm still fun to host you by myself!

Interests

Trying new things - be it culture, food, drink, people, sport
I love snowboarding and also like netball, hockey, sailing and capoeira.

Music, Movies, and Books

Films - I especially enjoy crime and thrillers but forget the names before the credits have finished. I love Adam Sandler's films too - sorry, can't help it!
Music - I sing (well, screech) along to any cheesy pop on the radio, like chilling to reggae, listen to metal and I lurrrve Brazilian carnaval music - you can't help but dance to that stuff!
Books - I like thrillers and books with twists to keep you guessing eg John Grisham, PD James; also travel writing like Bill Bryson.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

*3 things
Travelled by plane, helicopter and boat in the Grand Canyon - in the helicopter I felt like I was in a computer game!
Also dancing for 7 hours along the streets in a "bloco" at carnaval, in Bahia, Brasil with people from all over the world!
Indoor sky-diving in Las Vegas.

Teach, Learn, Share

I suppose I could teach some languages, share some experiences and I'd like to learn other languages and learn from other's experiences and cultures.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories about places around the world, experiences, laughter.
