ABOUT ME

I like to dance and laugh a lot.
I feel best when I'm outdoors, in the sea, up a mountain.
I want to learn how to tell a good story.
I like to think I can speak spanish.
I dream a lot about far away places.
I want to be more creative.
I think chocolate and avacados are the best things ever.
I'll try anything once.
I like cowboys that sing kareoke.

PHILOSOPHY

For any journey in life to have meaning it should be travelled with good companions.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Chatting with people over email.
Meeting up for drinks.
Getting advice.
Giving tips.
Having a giggle.
Getting to know a new place by its people.
Spreading the word.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Been communicating a lot with people via email, which has saved me loads of stress. Have had loads of feedback about local stuff going on that I never would have found from guide books e.g. local volunteer projects, dance classes, rooms for rent with local families, language schools, best places to eat etc.
Has saved me lots of bother. Thank you.

Diving and snorkeling the cenotes in Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico ... sacred serene fresh water sinkholes.
