About Me

I love to learn about people, travel, learn new languages, experience new cultures and food!

I would say my life motto is:
"love yourself, love others, and be fully present in every moment...don't worry about anything, things happen, you can only make things better moving forward."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am drawn to the opportunity to share cultures, experiences, languages, and life with other nice and interesting people...while being able to make good friends around the world. I think that staying in someone's home is the best opportunity to gain invaluable experiences and friendships that will remain long after you stay and be the kind that you can pick right back up the next time you see them.

I am currently in between homes, travelling right now, but I would love to host in the future!!!

Interests

The intellectual side of me:
I love learning new languages and having interesting discussions (about cultures, fun experiences, business ideas, perspectives on life...)

The adventure side of me:
I love the sun, outdoors, and exploring new places or chilling in a peaceful environment...

The fun side of me:
I love love love music and dancing! My favorite is Brazilian Zouk and Kizomba, and I also dance all other Latin dances and am familiar with some ballroom.

In my travels I love:
- free walking tours to explore the city and learn the stories that make it unique...
- trying amazing food and drinks!
- making new friends!
- experiencing the best of the city's culture, music, art, and history
- capturing the inspiring things I see in photos! :P

So many! Depends on my mood ;)

Currently reading: ¨The Power of Now¨ by Eckheart Tolle (2nd time around), Daring Greatly by Brene Brown, The Art of Communication by Thich Nhat Hanh, The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho, ...(soon to read others by Deepak Chopra as well)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Moved to London for a year and a half... traveled the south of Europe for 5 weeks on my own and visiting friends...to return home start my life over and now 3 years later quit my job, sell my car, and travel to India, Bali & Thailand for 5 months to continue my inner self discovery journey and become a Yoga Teacher.
There is so much more for me to experience in the world! My mind is open and ready to take in all I can!

Teach, Learn, Share

Socially, I have been dancing basically every kind of Latin dance for the last 5 years and even taught private basic classes! Dance is a passion of mine if you are interested to learn I would be more than happy to teach you what I can!
If you dance I would love to dance together!

What I Can Share with Hosts

My cheerful and encouraging character, a smile all day long, a helping hand, respect and understanding, openness to trying new things and an overall open mind, insightful things I have learned in my own life, my travels and from others, creativity in anything, enjoyment of cooking and eating together.
