CURRENT MISSION

To be happy and to work with something that adds some good to society.

ABOUT ME

I am outgoing and fun, I tend to make people laugh (not on purpose..i'm joking, i do it on purpose). I am a good listener, and I try my best to be a good friend, daughter, in general i really make an effort to be a good person and to keep improving.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on couchsurfing because I believe travelling can be made easier and more fun through this, it is a great way to meet local people, and truly understand and know a city.

Interests

I work with food, so that grabs a lot of my attention! Other than that I love to read, dance, and eat, cook and ride my bicycle. I also love to study and watch black and white movies (and I have probably seen every episode of Friends more than once).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I met in person Ketut Liyer, the medicine man from "Eat, Pray and Love", but more amazing than that he wanted to marry my mother and he wanted me to marry his grandson (I don't know if he says that to all women, but it was a funny moment)

Teach, Learn, Share

The best I could dare to teach, and share is all in "The Prophet" by Khalil Gibran
