I am deaf and adventurous. I love partying and get to know new people and new cultures! Very generous, loyal and full of energy. Loves to live life to the fullest and has a great personality that can get along with almost anyone. I enjoy learning about cultures. I love good food and I am a good cook but I always prefer to have someone cook for me. I am such a foodie.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have never been a host or a guest here, but I am looking forward to trying the experience! :) I'm new so looking for CS experiences. I would like to look for people to host when I am traveling and consider those that need a host when they are traveling. I am a shy but curious person. Couchsurfing is a good way to exchange and learn more about life. i also want to give myself to others. it will be my way of paying back this world for its generosity to me. peace and love is why i participate in couch surfing.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books: I am not such a big reader, mostly only read when I have to, like school stuff.

Movies: I am a movie freak.

Music: I'm deaf. but I appreciate lyrics from some bands like the beatles.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been to many countries. I went to the top of the Eiffel, which was kind of scary due to the wind lol.2. The first time I saw Big Ben in London, England.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you American Sign Language and I'd love to learn your life stories. I want to learn new languages and discover new cultures, language is very important to communicate. Furthermore for a better world, nowadays it is wisely interesting to be open mind about each other.
