About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Right now my mission was to bring a young talented Tongan to the Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver

ABOUT ME

Well, what can I say?! I think I'm a person you can have a lot of emotional moments with. I'm not necessarily a party people but I enjoy the company of interesting fellows. I would prefer a "calm" night with a nice glas of wine, talking, listening to music, just enjoying the moment of life I'm in right now than going to a disco or a bar. But still I'm not boring, I like sports, good music, books, dancing... a lot of stuff but most comes with the situation.
I'm trustworthy and helping and I would do everything for the people I love. But sometimes I really need people to catch me when I fall because I'm a really emotional person.

PHILOSOPHY

To achieve the Great you have to do the first tiny little step - but unfortunately you need to be really really brave to do it. Go for it girl!!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

So far no CS experiences other than a lot of friends and family on my couch who wanted company, fun or needed help.
