CURRENT MISSION

to manage my time on Earth wisely!

ABOUT ME

A regular person that strives to be aware of her space and time on this planet, plus the commitment and responsibilities it bring. Try to change what's wrong with the world while seeking to live my life to its best. I help others around me whenever I can, sometimes helping too much without knowing when to stop. I am still learning every day.

PHILOSOPHY

Passion and live life to the full.
Treat others as you'd like to be treated.
Learn from anyone anything anywhere there's something new everyday from which to draw inspiration, to learn.
Embrace life and the wonders it brings.
Love those that are truly special.
Forget those that are not.
Do not be afraid.
Do not close the door on life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I share what's lovely in my life & what else I've got with complete strangers they way they do the same for me when I enter their lives momentarily. You'll be amazed at what otherwise perfect strangers could do for you and that's the beauty of humanity.
