About Me

CURRENT MISSION: Be Grateful for all that I have.

ABOUT ME

Quite happy, kid at heart, kinda gal that loves traveling, meeting people and breaking the barriers of language. I am very clean, pretty flexible and love meeting all different types of people. My friendships are a huge part of my life.

PHILOSOPHY

To love others selflessly.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

People are amazing, especially those in the world who are willing to share their home, or time to a random stranger. Although, somehow it's not all that random when we are apart of the same system and have a similar mission.

Couch surfing is an amazing way to get to know some fabulous people as well as get a true feeling for the community they reside in. It's my first choice when traveling.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

A CSer staying at my house convinced me to bring home two kittens from a local farm without consulting my roommate. It was a rash decision that made my day and winter very enjoyable. They are now my favorite little creatures and I'm very thankful for them. Sometimes you just have to be spontaneous...

Or.. That one time in Hawaii when I met another couch surfer at a hosts house. The host is now a friend who I see from time to time and I have completed several more trips with the girl I met at his house. She also connected me to my entire friends circle in Los Angeles.

CSing is better than a bar, better than Facebook and more adventurous than YouTube.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Oh Boy!! So many... I hiked up a mountain in Germany and stood on the balcony of our pension, which was so high up, it stood above the clouds. While I was up there, the sun was setting on the clouds which saturated the white puffiness with vibrant hughes of red-orange-pink and I could hear the faint jingle from the cows and their bells far down below on a farm. It was a magical moment!
