CURRENT MISSION

Hi there. I am new to couch surfing and currently traveling for 4 months or maybe longer around Asia. I lost my job after 10 years of work and am using the opportunity to happily run around the globe and explore and meet nice people - as I love most!!

ABOUT ME

Polite and tidy female with a little bit of an edge who likes traveling and exploring. I'm not a party person but enjoy going out to theater, music, cultural events. I also love dancing (ballroom/latin) as well as capoiera, yoga, and swimming. Ah yes.... and FOOD. I am a FOODIE and also love discovering new wines. Basically anything that has to do with flavors - tea, cheese, wine, fusion food - I'm into it. Also love to cook.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
