I have lived many lives in my 37 years and have pursued my passions fully. I had worked in the fashion industry for a while and have been present at some of the best fashion shows bot backstage and as part of the audience. I also know where Iman gets her weave done. :)

After some reflection, I decided to study culinary due to my love of food. But in my effort to help others, I went to a school that focused on nutrition and health. I used that knowledge to cook in the kitchen s at work and for friends and family.

Skip forward a few years and the time of change has come again. I have been studying to teach English overseas. In my spare time I hope to explore the world and find out more about other cultures along the way.That's where couchsurfing comes in.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

If you are an artist and a passion chaser like me, you know that passion rarely pays the bills. You may love your work, but it may not allow for piles of money. Couchsurfing is a great idea for the curious and free-spirited that may lack the cash to book a luxury hotel. Besides to me the whole point of travelling is to meet new people in the place you're visiting. I think Couchsurfing brings people closer together in a world weighed down by isolation.

Most Recent Book: Ageless Body, Timeless Mind by Deepak Chopra

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Why is this question so hard? I don't think I've done anything amazing. I have done things that others before me have done and that others after me will do.

I haven't invented post-its (thumbs up if you know this movie reference) or climbed Mt. Fuji. I haven't cured cancer or proven string theory.

This question is depressing. I can not think of one "amazing" thing I've done. Maybe my definition of "amazing" is too high. This is so subjective.
