ABOUT ME
I am a very outgoing an international girl, eager to travel and to meet new people. I am currently about to studying abroad in Florida after studying a whole year in Porto(Portugal). As you can see I cannot stop, I feel travelling is like a drug and I love it. Anywhere I am you can contact me for advise, tips, information or to stay with me if I have an empty spot.
PHILOSOPHY
"I believe that the happiest people do not have the best of everything. They make the best of everything they have. So, smile because it is more powerful than a million of words, use it!"
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Throught advice of very good friends who knew I would match for sure with this type of "experience". They consider me as a very open mind person, as I do.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I am new at this but I see a lot of potential since it is an amazing iniciative to link people and to make travelling more affordable. I hope to benefit from this network by either offering my place to new people or being offered a place to stay.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I have hosted at home a random French passenger who lost her flight (I met her at work). And living with her and knowing how happy and grateful I was making her, has been one of the most incredible and joyful experience in my life who have made me feel 100% human and that's even more valuable than many things in life. Participating in Volunteering for 4 years with little kids have showed me many useful things in live. I have worked as a Security Agent in American Airlines for half a year being 19 years old and also as a Customer Service for the rental car company Hertz.
Teach, Learn, Share
Teaching? wow that's hard. Well I study marketing and I focus my view on the point of view of collaborative consumption (as this Website) and a good usage of marketing, not the manipulator kind of marketing. So if you wanna know something about how marketing can help the world to be a better place, just ask me ;)
