About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To Travel, eat , laugh, sing, dance, sleep...and REPEAT!!

ABOUT ME

I'm pretty easy going and really enjoy doing and seeing new things! Hence, I am traveling addict. I've been doing most of my traveling the last few years and always find myself planing (or not! planing) my trips last minute and I generally travel by myself. I love having random experiences, meeting new people and just enjoying every minute I'm given. I'm pretty adventurous and although i really do like good company, I know how to keep myself entertained and intrigued. I love different foods so rarely decline trying anything!!!
I also really want to let my hosts know that i'm not using C.S. to save money..i choose to do this and I like to stay at hostels cause it makes it easier to meet travellers and/or locals...which I love! i have so many stories about traveling on my own and the best stories are usually the most unexpected from meeting strangers..
From exploring sweatshops in Taiwan to random bike rides on the coast of Vietnam to flinging tomatoes at the Tomatina festival outside of Valencia...all random-unplanned deliciousness.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I really just wanted to get started and get to know people that have travelled and hear and swap stories..right now i am in a beautiful place in my life..with a really cute house with roommates and extra room for new guests!! So please come! I've been meeting up with some friends from c.s. recently and have been having a good time with them...just hope to meet more and more!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

skydiving 2008 from the swiss alps...made the decision in a split second and the next thing i knew i was hanging out of helicopter flying to the top of the
JUNGFRAU breathing in fresh fresh air and watching the ice met into water before my very eyes...and then pOP! right out the helicopter and hoovering above the beautiful valley..and screaming my head off!

but more amazing than that..it seeing my grandma..she's an amazing person to meet!

Teach, Learn, Share

I don't know if I have much to teach.
floss everyday: even if your gums bleed- in general, the more you floss, the less likely they will bleed over time.
any other dental related questions? feel free.
