About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I'm a contemplative person who is adverturous as well, witty, friendly, and love to get to know people.

ABOUT ME

I love to travel, have been from sea to sea in Canada, many parts of the United States, at least 10 trips to Europe. Enjoy cooking a special meal for friends, watching a movie with a buddy, love to explore new things and experiences.

PHILOSOPHY

In the past, I used to stay in hotels. Now I couchsurf and I must say that couchsurfing rocks! By staying with people in their homes you gain the opportunity to know other people, make friends, share experiences, and learn from their culture.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
