I enjoy learning languages and I love music. I like going out with friends and I try to be active. I like biking and swimming a lot.I love wandering outdoors.. & meeting new people.

PHILOSOPHY

I strive to be: honest,loving,and understanding.I am trying to find middle ground,no one who is selfish is happy, and no one who is completely selfless is happy either.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I surf and have been to a CS event. I would like to participate a lot more and especially host, because so many people have shared their time and homes with me,through CS and not, and I would like to show more of that sort of kindness to others. Currently I’m unable to host but hope to again soon.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have couch surfed in Austria,Belgium,Spain,Tofino(Canada).I hosted some friends I made in Belgium at my grandparents house in the Czech Republic..them and 25 girl scouts!:D(They were cooks with a camp)I have had a great time so far and I am looking forward to my next couch surfing experience!

Music, Movies, and Books

Motorcycle diaries is one great movie that comes to mind,I like documentaries and basically movies about important things that I am passionate about like putting an end to war.I also can be seen kicking back to a ridiculous movie like Austin Powers or Napoleon Dynamite,old Saturday Night Live episodes. I love to laugh!trying to learn spanish now..so spanish movies:)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I learned to fly ultra-light planes in the Czech Republic. That was an exhilarating experience! Taking off alone for the first time and especially landing was a life changing experience.Going to live in Spain with 700$ to my name and surviving:D

Teach, Learn, Share

I like learning to cook different foods while drinking wine:)I love languages, and perspectives on life..I have experienced a few different cultures which have given me a broader perspective on all that is primarily important in life..and has shown me that often countries choose leaders who undermine just that.
I would like to learn- Spanish
