ABOUT ME

I have a fancy wish-list of the things-I-wanna-do-before-I-die, ticked off a couple at 24 and I wake up each morning to new possibilities!

Well, that was me at 25.
I am 38 now - Balancing work-life and the hippie soul.

PHILOSOPHY

Read (try to - A lot), always keep a lot of empty space in my heart (and stomach) to take in new experiences (culture, art, music, literature, food, thoughts) passionately,Meet new people, learn a lot from experiences and being a great friend to myself and others :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To share some miles and smiles:

I feel Couchsurfing is a great way to connect especially for solo travellers. I have been travelling solo for over 7 years now. It is an exhilarating experience and it makes you learn to get comfortable in your own skin, enjoy your own company, understand your surroundings better because you are not constantly in company of other people. There is no co-dependence. You are out there, talking to strangers, understanding their culture, sharing yours.
I am here to meet a friend-for-a-day or two or more when I am exploring a country on my own.

I like being honest, sometimes I am in between jobs, travelling extensively, so money is a thing, I am here to find a possible couch to crash for a day or two and carry a friend in my soul forever.
