Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I'm couch surfing because my passion for travel out weighs my bank account! And I love meeting locals who can help me experience the true culture of a particular city or town. Some of my best friends are people whom I've met during travels! I love the general friendliness, open mindedness and understanding between travellers and couch surfers.
Music, Movies, and Books
My music taste depends on my mood but can be any where from Fleetwood Mac, guns and roses, boy and bear and vance joy. I listen to the 60s, 70s, 80s and the 90s but may favourite is dancing to salsa music. I have a bachelor in education, majoring in the arts and literature so I'm currently reading Living Magically by Gill Edwards. I'm currently living in Colombia so thought it appropriate to watch Narcos and I'm addicted!
