ABOUT ME
I'm silly, outgoing, open-minded, talkative, emotional, very passionate, and at times not afraid of being a corny girl :) , whew! I love to laugh and will most likely burst out with it from yesterdays events at any given moment. I'm very expressive in however I'm feeling, not really afraid of saying whats on my mind. I'm very curious about any and everything... hence i ask alot of questions lol.
PHILOSOPHY
EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON whether it be a positive or negative experience. It only brings us closer to where we need to be in life. I believe in embracing each moment to its fullest potential. There are so many lessons to be learned and absorbed for the spirit. I want to learn as much as I possibly can and fulfill whatever destiny has laid out for me.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I had my 1st experiences traveling with another couchsurfer starting in Nov. 2009 and now my journey continues alone in another foreign land. I've immersed myself with the community and have made amazing friends and experiences along the way. I hope to only add to the irreplaceable memories while passing the good word along.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I've surfed a few couches back in the states and am currently testing the waters abroad. Staying at another host's flat in Barcelona and rooming with another cs'er while welcoming in other couchsurfers to BCN! Its been amazing here so far!
I don't have loads of experience but I wish to change this soon! If and when i step back into the states, I plan to open up my place to share the same!!!
