About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Not taking anything too seriously

ABOUT ME

My curiosity almost always gets the best of me. I'm fascinated by different languages and always, the more culture the better. I am an extremely unpicky eater so I would be open to try almost every edible dish. I love all types of outdoor activities from water rafting, biking, climbing rocks, jumping off waterfalls, or just laying in the grass. I'm really interested in hearing other people's stories (so please do share), I can entertain myself very well, and I can probably people watch for hours.

PHILOSOPHY

“But who can say what’s best? That’s why you need to grab whatever chance you have of happiness where you find it, and not worry about other people too much. My experience tells me that we get no more than two or three such chances in a life time, and if we let them go, we regret it for the rest of our lives.” ― Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have couchsurfed several times now and I would just like to hug the inventor of CS because it has been one of the most memorable experiences of my life. I can't imagine not couchsurfing when I'm traveling so I hope I can do it forever..haha. I see it as an opportunity to not just meet other people, but learn new philosophies, become more open minded, and have a lotttt of fun. It also makes me happy to know that there are so many good people in this world!
