CURRENT MISSION

Creating myself just by living

ABOUT ME

Allright then, who am I?
I'm a girl who tries to live right here and now as much as I can. Sometimes it's necessary to plan ahead, but most of the times I just like to figure it out day by day.
I'm open-minded, a good listener and very easy-going. I can be a bit shy, but on the other hand very spontaneous. I love to be around people, sometimes I need some time alone, but overall I'm very social.
I'm respectfull to others and always willing to listen to them and to learn from them.
Don't know what more to tell, I guess you just have to figure out who I am!

PHILOSOPHY

Well one thing I always keep in mind is that the smile I send out will return to me (sometimes not immediately, but eventually it will).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Update: Not so new anymore! Am glad to experience the valuable concept of cs. Have surfed some couches and hopefully I can host some people soon.
I'm new here, but I'll do my best to participate where I can and as good as I can.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Update: And I have experienced how great, funny, valuable, interesting and adventurous cs can be!! I think it's an amazing concept, a good way to get to know people from all over the world and to learn that there are a lot of friendly, hospitable, trustful people on this small planet.
No experience, YET! Just starting, but hopefully I'll experience soon how great, funny, valuable, interesting couchsurfing can be!

Interests

A whole lot of things. I like to learn as I'm very curious. I want to know what goes on in the world. I'm very interested in other people, what drives them, what's in there heads etc...So I love to listen to others.
I like to dance, going out, but I also like to have a drink at a bar and just chill out or going to the movies, theatre, museum etc. As I'm a girl I love shopping! Sometimes it may feels like a work-out, but for real sports I like to play basketball, skate, hike, bike.
I love to travel!
Well what more can I tell, oh yeas I like reading (literature, but sometimes it's fun to read an easy, not so well written book), I like watching tvshows (such as Grey's anatomy, ER, Nip/tuck)
and I love to just hang out with friends and family!
