Hi ^_^,

I am Tringa, currently an MBA student at George Washington University, living in DC. Absolutely love living in the capital - there is always interesting things happening (to say the least).

I try to live life to the fullest, and try interesting things things at least once a month: it can be a new event, new food place, new bar, a networking event, etc. I like to think I am spontaneous (try to be). I believe that life is too short to stay in one place "if we were meant to be in one place, we would of had roots"

Fun fact: I have a bad phobia of cats. I love to cook (but that doesn't mean I am really the best cook).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I was fortunate enough to meet a lot of people from all around the world. The more I meet and discuss to others, the more I understand different cultures. I love being exposed to new ways of thinking and exposure gives you that.

A lot of people have hosts me throughout the years when traveling. I am looking for an opportunity to give back. When I was living in Kosovo, it wasn't a place where people used Courchsufing a lot, so I didn't get to use it to host. However, now that I am in DC, I would love to offer my couch to others and to be hosted by others.

Life has an interesting way of putting new interesting people your way, and Couchsurfing seems like a great place to get people together who like similar things.

Interests

I like to spend my free time catching up on movies and tv shows. I will watch anything, without looking at the ratings. I especially love animated movies (cheesy I know, but they are good).

Also, I like doing physical activities like going to the gym, tennis and swimming. I also try to run (not sure if it counts if you do it once every two weeks, but hey I try).

Music, Movies, and Books

I like mainstream Music. Can't really decide what I like, so I listen to whatever everyone else is liking. I also like some songs that get randomly played on YouTube lol

Movies: La Vita e Bella, Miss Slone, Mean Girls, A beautiful Mind, Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind, Django Unchained, a lot of Disney too (very random, but yeah, these would be my top ones)

Books: anything by Khaled Hosseini (Kite Runner would be my fav), or physiological books in general (thinking Fast and Slow, The Power of Habbit, Man's Search for Meaning), also

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I got to overcome a lot of challenges, the biggest one being going from a 5 year old experiencing war to a full recipient of a scholarship getting my MBA at my dream school.

Teach, Learn, Share

You grow. Time does heal everything.

The more you try, the easier it becomes to push further.

You have to be comfortable with being uncomfortable.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am a very neat person. I don't carry if you are massy, but I promise I won't make a mess. I don't smoke or anything. I obey to your house rules.

I am very grateful for the chance to let me into your home, and I just home to return the favor soon.
