Overview
About Me
I consider myself to be independent, persistent, adventurous, open-minded, brave, spontaneous and loyal.
I love going watching sports! I've attended 4 soccer world cups (women and men): USA 1999, South Africa 2010, Brazil 2014, Canada 2015.
I enjoy people watching and eavesdropping. These are two of the best possible ways to kill time.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I have couchsurfed several times...twice in Barcelona, Spain and once with my mom and dad in Marrakesh, Morocco. Since couchsurfing together in Marrakesh, my family has been very enthusiastic about the project. We've hosted about half a dozen surfers from several different countries.
Let's see...
I played tri-lingual (French, Spanish, English) scrabble in Barcelona with people from Mexico, Spain, Burkina Faso.
My family took turns on the back of a motorbike with our hosts in Marrakesh.
I've rediscovered my city with couchsurfers from Singapore, France, Morocco, Korea, Belgium and the USA.

Within 24 hours I jumped off a cliff at Victoria Falls, rode on an elephant, and ate warthog and crocodile.

I studied abroad in Botswana, Morocco and China.

Teach, Learn, Share
I'm here to meet people from different cultures and people from my hometown. I want to exchange ideas, enrich my life, make friends, encourage travel and just have a break from monotony.
