I studied abroad in Prague in 2011 and enjoyed the experience so much that I continued living in the Czech Republic. I'm from California (father is from U.S. and mother is from Cyprus).

Curiosity is good for you.
The more you give, the more you get.
I make awesome salads and veggie stir fry. yum.
I love to meet new people.
I try to be balanced and remember to enjoy each moment.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

For now this is the best response I have to this notoriously tough question:

In 2014 I attended a Vipassana meditation course. It gave me a deeper awareness and understanding. It has had a big improvement on my life, and continues to do so. I think anyone who completed the course will say the same. It will change your life! Just like Couchsurfing :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I like to prepare food, especially fresh, vegetarian, vegan and raw vegan :)

Foreign languages- I can teach and want to learn Czech, Spanish and Greek. I can help you with your English.

Meditation- I can tell you about my experience and some resources if you are interested.

Resources for education online and cheap, fun ways travel.
