Hello Couchsurfers!

- - -

My name is Christina but my friends call me Tinka. :)

I am an Independent Designer (graphic, industrial & interior) from Vancouver Island, West Coast Canada.
I love to travel, explore the world, learning languages, and cultures as I do so.

If I could describe myself in one word, it would be 'chill'- I suppose I consider myself a modern hippie. I love creating a positive atmosphere and sharing good vibes with new friends.

I live in this moment because this moment is all that ever exists.

If you spend your time thinking about a future moment or one in the past, you've just wasted the moment that is happening right now.

Think about it.

The best compliment I ever received was:
"Wow, your energy really uplifted me today. You've got great vibes."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would like to spread as much love in this world as I am possibly able to.

I've met so many cool people from around the world who participate in the couchsurfing community! I'm very excited to get even more involved and meet more fellow explorers.

I hosted several couchsurfers in my Vienna apartment in 2012, and have surfed in Prague, Amsterdam and all over the South of Spain.

I love to use couchsurfing to find the coolest / chillest people in a new city, it's a great way to make new friends. :)
