Hi! My name is Bernadette, but you can call me Bernie if you'd like. :) I am an adventurer who loves taking trips and meeting new people. I believe you can learn something from each person you meet!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To continue exploring and meeting people from all over the world in a much more affordable way! I also enjoy the experience of getting to know locals and listening to their advice on where to visit and what to see and do.

Interests

I am an avid reader and writer, and would love to someday write a book! I also have a strong passion for holistic health.

• writing

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy a myriad of genres and artists, but some top ones include: Coldplay, Switchfoot, OneRepublic, Betty Who, Sia, Imogen Heap, A Silent Film, and Andrew Belle. I love any disney or pixar film, but my favorite movie is probably the first Pirates of the Caribbean. And when it comes to books it is almost impossible to narrow it down, but if I had to, I would say "The Book Thief" by Markus Zusak, "The Giver," by Lois Lowry, and any book by Mitch Albom.
