About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To meet new people, learn languages, experience cultures, and see the world!!!

ABOUT ME

I have always been crazy about traveling, which when I was younger I did mostly through the books I read! When I was 18 I moved to Italy for 4 years and got my college degree there, I work and make money to travel and then I travel until I run out and then I do it all over again. I love to really experience a country fully, get to know the people and the culture, and the language. I think traveling is an amazing way to open your mind to what is out there in this big crazy world and a way to find your place in it. I am a little shy at first, but once you get to know me I'm extremely talkative. :) I love to laugh and make people laugh, and have fun wherever I am!

PHILOSOPHY

I want to enjoy life to the fullest, to experience everything new and fun and different, and be happy all the time and help make other people happy! I think the more different people we meet and cultures we experience the more we learn about ourselves and develop as a person too. I want to spend my life learning and having fun, I never want to settle!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have been travelling since I joined couchsurfing so I haven't hosted yet, but I went to all the events at the very first pan-american couchsurfing gathering in Rio this year, including New Year's which was absolutely incredible!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I live for travelling, but when my sister told me about couchsurfing I thought she was crazy and was way to scared to try it... But she convinced me to couchsurf on our trip in Brazil, and now I can't get enough of it!!! I wan't to couchsurf and host for the rest of my life, it is the best way to get to know people and get to know a culture and language, I am just crazy about it!
