About Me

I think it's safe to say that I am very care free and laid back in almost all situations. You'll also find that I am very smiley and relatively an optimist when it comes to life.. but don't get me wrong, I'm making myself sound like some crazy, bubbly, in your face kind of optimist.. I promise you I'm not like that. It's more that I like to think that in the end, most things work out for the best if you go into them with a positive outlook. My biggest thing is to not fret the petty things (which is such a cliche) but I swear by it!!! I like to think that I'm really an island girl at heart.. I have that island mentality + I live for the beach, ocean, and sun.

I LOVE to laugh.. who doesn’t?

I like to venture out and explore what a place has to offer in all aspects- going on adventure, try something I've never done before, see something I've never seen before.

Overall I'm very easy to get along with and I'm always looking for new things to explore and new adventures!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

In couchsurfing I find the best and most likely way for me to meet new people, discover different lives, lifestyles, thoughts, ideas, m culture etc.

I figure that couch surfing, with the right host, could really open me up to the culture of my travels and not just as an outsider.

My goal when I travel is to build friendships everywhere I go and share with one another our ideas, experiences, stories and laughs. To leave and take some awesome memories with me everywhere I pass through in life.

Interests

I'm really interested in many different cultures and traditions that exist in this small world that we live on which is ones of the reasons why I LOVE TRAVELING.

I LOVE FOOD so much you'd be surprised at how much I could really eat and I will eat anything.
I also really like to grocery shop it's my therapy (:

I LOVE ANIMALS.. all animals but I have issues with insects especially spiders. But I'm not a vegetarian unfortunately. I care about the environment and about our ecosystem.

I LOVE MOVIES especially foreign films &
MUSIC.. a good song is a good song, regardless of what language what culture or what genre in my opinion.
