ABOUT ME

just another one of those people who likes to travel...meet new people, hear interesting stories, experience new cultures, try new things.

PHILOSOPHY

I want to live a life that makes me happy, while also keeping in mind others happiness...the clichéd "golden rule." top priorities: friends, family, travel, health, and art

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

New to couchsurfing, but in the past I've led quite a few groups of tourists around Prague. I love to show people the best parts of the city and make sure they have a great time. I would like to surf and also host, but I would have to ask my roommates before hosting anyone.

I've surfed with amazing people in Copenhagen, Milan, and Porto. My Copenhagen host has visited and surfed with me 4 times. :)
I've also hosted many friends and acquaintances.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

-living in Prague
-teaching kids everyday, especially in a foreign country, always comes with adventures and surprises
-seeing theatre or being part of theatre/ art in cities all over the world
-too many..and some just can't be put into words.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am extremely passionate about costume design and fashion...so I could share art and theatre knowledge and would love any artists to share their skills and knowledge with me.

I could also share my love of random dance parties as I am a total goof.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Cooking, language practice, help with any art projects
