CURRENT MISSION

Enjoying the little moments and spreading some positivity!

ABOUT ME

A little impulsive, always smiling, friendly, extrovert who loves to go for a drink and get to know different people, with different views on the world.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm trying to live my life in the moment and to enjoy those little moments that make you smile and to never regret anything that once made you smile. I am not religious, but don't mind people who are. I think it's just important to be good to others and I believe in Karma. As the Dalai Lama says: My religion is kindness.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been hosting for 6 years while living in Thailand. I have hosted around 200 couchsurfers and Have met many on the regular events in Chiang Mai. I have even met my husband on a couchsurfing event. Funny thing is, that it's the same moment I stopped hosting people as he doesn't like to have CS' ers in the home. Besides that he is perfect though ;-) I still go to events once in a while when traveling.

Interests

I like meeting new people. I like having drinks and listening to stories. Just basically having fun. I enjoy meeting good people, laughing together and learning from their experiences, also a real foodie! I love salsa dancing, zumba, cooking and playing werewolves and cards against humanity (if you don't know these games you are missing out).
