CURRENT MISSION

Remember to Not Take Life Too Seriously...

ABOUT ME

I just moved to San Diego, I work in government relations. I am not really sure if I can show you anything in the city but I would love to meet up and explore it with you.

I just moved back to the USA from Albania and a lot of places before that. Would love to swap stories and hear about your adventures.

PHILOSOPHY

1. Sleep when you are dead, because you never know what is going to happen today.

2. You should be ready for everything in FIVE MINUTES.

3. By inspiring one person in your life, you can inspire the world

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hosted the brave souls who got lost and ended up staying in a small mountain village in Corovode, Albania. But sadly that was short lived. Now I enjoy meeting up with others who couch surf in the San Diego area.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have accidentally couchsurfed a few times... it's an adventure! I love to host, however my current situation does not really allow for me to host but I would love to meet up and hear about your experiences.

My favorite experience so far was hosting some accidental couchsurfers in Albania. I was on my way home on the bus from another city when a friend called telling me she was sending some couchsurfers my way, she described them as tall and blonde. I found them on the side of the highway, made the entire bus stop and run out of the bus going MY NEW FRIENDS (in Albanian). They had a sign that say they were going to "Berat." The man in charge of the bus going but they are going to Berat! I told him that Corovode was clearly better. The man in charge of the bus rips up their sign and proudly proclaims MIRSERVINI SKRAPARI! (Welcome to Skrapar). Then hugs them, best experience ever.
