CURRENT MISSION

See, Explore, & Experience The World With My Husband! :)

ABOUT ME

I'm a passionate lover of life who has been instilled with the strongest sense of wanderlust since my first venture outside of my home country and have no plans of stopping this desire to see, taste, explore, and experience the world. I've got big plans for this life of mine and I'm destined to see as much as I can while I'm alive on this big, beautiful planet! I adore meeting new people and love making new connections wherever I go!

Cruz and I were recently married and instead of your typical honeymoon, have quit our jobs to see and experience the world. Travel, culture, language, and food are our passions and one day we hope to open our own bed and breakfast.

PHILOSOPHY

"Not all those who wander are lost." -JRR Tolkien

“Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And that no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dreams, because every second of the search is a second's encounter with God and with eternity.” -Paulo Coelho

“Travel isn’t always pretty. It isn’t always comfortable. Sometimes it hurts, it even breaks your heart. But that’s okay. The journey changes you; it should change you. It leaves marks on your memory, on your consciousness, on your heart, and on your body. You take something with you. Hopefully, you leave something good behind.” -Anthony Bourdain

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

People are my passion - I love hosting, surfing, hanging, talking, wandering, and exploring with anyone who's willing to go along on the adventure...

“We are travelers on a cosmic journey,stardust,swirling and dancing in the eddies and whirlpools of infinity. Life is eternal. We have stopped for a moment to encounter each other, to meet, to love, to share.This is a precious moment. It is a little parenthesis in eternity.” -Paulo Coelho

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I absolutely LOVE hosting people and getting to make new friends from around the world. Couchsurfing is such a fantastic community that creates new cross-cultural bonds and build new friendships within a few hours.
