I've learned that people will forget what you said People will forget what you did, but People will never forget how you made them feel. Maya Angelou I love people and care about everyone. I love music, hiking, tennis, movies, traveling, reading, biking and anything indoors too. I like photography and can't live without music. I'm open to learning new things. But don't use my kindness and use my house as a free hotel. If you stay at my home you will be treated like family and I understand you would want to want to visit the city, but try to come back home by 7pm and spend time with me in the spirit of Couchsurfing. Also bring something from from your country that shares your culture and story. It's not the cost of such a gift but the thought and the significance. Making time for my family and friends is very important for me. No matter what is going on I will try to be there as I put their needs before mine. I'm told that I'm a good listener and a problem solver. I'm successful in my career but I don't let it define me. I maintain a good work-life balance. I have endured a lot of hardship in my life and I am thankful for all the blessings I have. There is no point dwelling in the past and having a pity party, I never take anyone or anything for granted. I welcome friendships! There is a a swimming pool, a Gym. Please read my "Home" section and include the "pass phrase" to let me know that you understand and accept my house rules.
