About Me

CURRENT MISSION

See the world one layover at a time!

ABOUT ME

I love to travel, even if it is in quick-lived trips! I love my job because it allows me to see the world and meet people all over. I enjoy learning languages and about other cultures. For the past few years I was a dance and Yoga instructor. I'm inclined toward the New Age and holistic methods.

PHILOSOPHY

-When you wake up in the morning, Pooh, said Piglet at last, what's the first thing you say to yourself?
-What's for breakfast? said Pooh. What do you say, Piglet?
-I say, I wonder what's going to happen exciting today? said Piglet.
Pooh nodded thoughtfully.
It's the same thing, he said.
[The Tao of Pooh]

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've only had a few meet-ups and I've been to a couple events - all of which were GREAT! I look forward to expanding this box with more meetings and hopefully actual surfing soon!

Interests

So many interests. My first love is languages. I also enjoy live music in any form, old buildings, and quirky history stories. My favorite pastime is eating a great local meal wherever I might find myself. This usually consists of a dinner that leaves us uncomfortable because we ate way too much. And it's wonderful every time!
