Connecting with people is what fuel my energy and feed my soul. I just decided to take a sabbatical to travel around the world and cherish the time I get to spend with my friends, family, "perfect strangers" and of course, my inner self.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A friend of mine raves about her positive experience with Couchsurfing, I finally decided to try it out!
I enjoy any opportunity to get to meet other people from different cultures/backgrounds and surround myself with people with "Joie de vivre". Meeting local people and getting to know their city/culture form their point of view is significantly more enjoyable and fulfilling to me than sightseeing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was living in Boston, on a Thursday evening I decided to spend the weekend in Brussels!! I took a Friday flight from Boston to Istanbul- Istanbul to Brussels!! (Yes, all the direct flights were booked!)
It was about 24 hours of flight to spend 48 hours in Brussels!!! So worth it and I didn't even have to take a day off from work :) One of the most memorable trips of my life, love being spontaneous and living in the moment.
Every moment is a gift.
