About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To have fun, live life to the fullest, learn as much as I can and be happy!!!

ABOUT ME

I am fully international, in tems of the way I grew up and the way I live my life. I can never stay in one place longer then 6 months... I am very energetic, very positive when it comes to anything. Do not like being in ugly environments. I love being social, people are my hobby!! But I enjoy being alone as well. I am into all sports, and love fire dancing. My family is also very important to me. Dancing is one of my favorite things to do!!
:)

PHILOSOPHY

Treat other people the way you would like to be treated. And- Make the best of what you have!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have just signed on, but knew about it for about a year and a half, because I am moving so much I do not have a couch available, but after this trip I will be moving on my own again for another 6 months and will welcome guests to stay with me. Either in Toronto or Vancouver. I think it's a great idea, this was the way I traveled before, not knowing about couchsurfing- staying at firends of friends, but CS makes it so much easier and more organized. Love it...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Non in CS, but have stayed with many friends of friends, or people I had met briefly in the past- and every single time, we had an amazing experience. Miami, Ibiza, Lisbon...
