CURRENT MISSION

Finish my MBA, learn Arabic and Portugese, and just live and love life--try to help people along the way.

ABOUT ME

I'm a lover of life, travel, humanitarian work, art, languages, cultures, animals, dancing, food, EVERYTHING!!! (really)
I am a little of everything. My mother is Swedish, Mongolian, German, French, and Cherokee Indian. My father is Spanish, Chinese, and Inca Indian...and out of all this madness you get me!! lol :)
I was a missionary's child in Bolivia until I was 8 and then my parents moved to the states (mother is American) and now my parents have a non-profit working in Mexico.
I, on the other hand, am not religious. I don't assocaite myself with any particular religous group, rather I am honest, open, and sensitive to all beliefs (while having my own of course).
I moved to France on my own when I was 17 (on my birthday!) and have been traveling ever since. I move to another city, state, or country every 3-4 months!! (I've been doing it for the past 4 to 5 years now! jaja crazy I know!)
Overall I am just a lover of life, as I said earlier...I love meeting people and learning from them.

PHILOSOPHY

"γνῶθι σεαυτόν gnōthi seauton" (Roughly translated, "Know yourself"...so that you can then understand others, and ultimately understand the world-- Socrates)
"ἓν οἶδα ὅτι οὐδὲν οἶδα hen oída hoti oudén oída" ("I know that I know nothing"...which I think captures the essence of a truly wise person; because you realize life is so vast the more you learn the more you feel you don't know anything in comparison to the immensity of the world.)

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

If I had a permanent or even semi-permanent address I would love to host travelers too!......Given I don't though, well that poses a problem, so sadly I cannot. I finish my MBA in August 2010 so hopefully not longer after that I shall be getting a more permanent home since I will have to start working at that point. So I'll keep my profile updated! :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been traveling for a while, and have friends all over the world, and they've been kind enough to let me sleep on their couch, so I guess I've been doing this for a while now . :)
Formally however; I started couchsurfing while I was in Portugal summer 2009 and I loved my experience.

兴趣

I love to cook, love to design my own clothes, love to travel (obviously), but above all I think I like to live in new places (not just travel through them). Why? Because that is how you learn about yourself...because everything around you is so different. I love being challenged to grow as a person, which is why I suppose my friends are from all over the world--their diversity instigates my own! :)
I love to dance! (Anything too!)
