WORK IN PROGRESS

I have a little blog, though it lacks updating because I am busy running around. A full time traveler since February 2017, Colombia in January 2019 was territory / country #98. https://www.instagram.com/jen.viajera/

ABOUT ME

My close friends would say I'm down to earth, resourceful, fun, and spontaneous. I enjoy live music, sunsets, baseball games, and chasing waterfalls.

Experiences are priceless and those are what I cherish most - tangible items are nice but they are replaceable.

I like to learn and try new things - you can find me outdoors during the summer making the most of the weather and in a classroom during the winter brushing up on a foreign language.

A wishful adventurer! I'm someone who prefers skydiving to Chanel bags, hiking to Louboutins and exploring to Burberry.

Very much in love with all kinds of music.

A passionate foodie.

A landscape and adrenaline junkie.

An horrible parallel park-er but I can teach you to drive a manual car!

I might not be able to give you an accommodation when you visit. But I will be willing to meet up and be friends with you as long as tell me in advance when you will be here, so that I can prepare and organize my schedule.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I find that the best part of traveling is to meet people, see their way of life, and create memories together. It doesn't matter where I am, or what the weather is outside, crossing paths with a person only happens once in a life time and the window of opportunity to become friends may or may not not occur again.

READ ME I'm not available for relationship, partnership, dating or any sexual activities. I am here on couchsurfing make friends, for friendship only. I hope this is clear for you! Thank you :)

When you send me a request, do tell me about your current trip, your favorite quote, or your favorite place in the world (and why).

I am glad to meet up with people from around the world, to listen and share stories from our experiences, take and give advice on future adventures to come.
