About Me

I love making new friends. I'm a very open minded individual and love to meet new people. I' on a journey to self discovery and self-acceptance. I try my best everyday to make it a good day and stay in the moment.

I have been on the mend for a long time and I can finally say I love myself. I think I'm fun and funny, and I love to laugh and have a great time. Music moves me. I love music and I love sharing and discovering new music, specially music others love.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I live to travel and meet new people. I want to make friendships and learn new things. I don't like staying at hotels and going through the motions of seeing all the tourist attractions in a place. I like to talk to the people who live in a city, eat what the locals eat and have fun like I live there. I love hearing stories and exchanging travel tidbits. Have I mentioned I love new friends?

I also love the idea of paying things forward and having what goes around comes around. If I spread good energy and live my best life, whatever happens is meant to happen. I just go with the flow and I really enjoy spending time with others that think and live like that.

Interests

When I am interested in something, I like to immerse myself wholeheartedly in that interest. I am a very obsessive person, I love binge watching series and binge reading too. I love to work with my hands. I draw, paint, quilt, origami.

I like biking. I love swimming, either at the beach or in pools. I love the beach, I can walk along the beach all day long. I love walking, I can walk all day ad not get tired. I usually have no destination, I just walk where I think feels right. I love long conversation and getting to meet new people. Something about different perspectives makes mine own seem new and refreshing once I return to my normal life.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite book is the Great Gatsby, with The Sun Also Rises being a close second. When I first read them, I hated them but as with wine they get better with time.

I love Game of Thrones, was a committed Grey's Anatomy fan until season 12. I live apocalyptic series, like The 4400, The Walking Dead. I also love children's movies, with my most recent favorite being Cars 3.

I love YA, I do. There's something about the genre that reels me in. I love the way its predictable but I always want to know how the author might have tweaked the storyline. I have been made fun of before, but it's like mental white noise for me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I learned to love and accept myself, just as I am.

The second most amazing thing to happen to me was adopting my cat, sound cliche but the little guy changed my life.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love learning about other cultures and places.

I like to give any and all knowledge I have to others, the more people that learn new skills, the better!

I enjoy sharing everything I am and getting to know people in return.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Depending on when you come, we have an extra bedroom available or the living room is always free. I have access to a kitchen, washer, and of course, bathroom facilities. We live right next to a store, so you can buy food to prepare at home. There is access to public transportation a few streets away.
