CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

If you asked my loved ones about what kind of person I am, I imagine they would tell you I am a vibrant personality full of ambition and positive vibes! I like to think I have an exceptionally positive attitude and huge heart. "Live every day like its your birthday!!!"

PHILOSOPHY

Instead of using my own writing to express my thoughts on this section, I thought I would share the lyrics to a song that explains my personal philosophy perfectly. It is called For a Dancer by Jackson Browne:

Keep a fire burning in your eye
Pay attention to the open sky
You never know what will be coming down
I don't remember losing track of you
You were always dancing in and out of view
I must have thought you'd always be around
Always keeping things real by playing the clown
Now you're nowhere to be found

I don't know what happens when people die
Can't seem to grasp it as hard as I try
It's like a song I can hear playing right in my ear
That I can't sing
I can't help listening
And I can't help feeling stupid standing 'round
Crying as they ease you down
'cause I know that you'd rather we were dancing
Dancing our sorrow away
(right on dancing)
No matter what fate chooses to play
(there's nothing you can do about it anyway)

Just do the steps that you've been shown
By everyone you've ever known
Until the dance becomes your very own
No matter how close to yours
Another's steps have grown
In the end there is one dance you'll do alone

Keep a fire for the human race
Let your prayers go drifting into space
You never know what will be coming down
Perhaps a better world is drawing near
And just as easily it could all disappear
Along with whatever meaning you might have found
Don't let the uncertainty turn you around
(the world keeps turning around and around)
Go on and make a joyful sound

Into a dancer you have grown
From a seed somebody else has thrown
Go on ahead and throw some seeds of your own
And somewhere between the time you arrive
And the time you go
May lie a reason you were alive
But you'll never know

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

By welcoming fellow travellers into my home and sharing my experiences with them. I have become a very good English teacher because of this! ;)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have been so lucky to cross paths with some wonderfully hospitable people so far who welcomed me into their homes. This has inspired me to return the favour! Plus, sharing stories with fellow travellers is awesome because we're all kind of on the same trip :)

Interests

There are many things in this world that keep my life engaging, but I would have to say one that really sparks my interest is music. Music allows me to express myself, see things in a different light, and even help me to overcome all types of challenges life throws my way.

• writing
• singing

Music, Movies, and Books

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Angkor Wat in Cambodia - The lost city of temples was constructed over four centuries and was built for kings. One of the most beautiful and intriguing sites in the world, and I got the chance to experience it at sunrise. Magical.
