Overview
About Me
Hi! I think everyone should read this before or while Couchsurfing: http://www.angloitalianfollowus.com/why-couchsurfing-is-free-is-a-myth
One of the most important things about me: My friends are the loves of my life! I often find myself appreciating how lucky and grateful I am. I'm deeply committed to my friendships despite constant geographical distances between us; I've been best friends with my soulmate for over 20 years now while we've lived in different places and countries for most of that time. I constantly look forward to meeting new, amazing people and potential close friends.
I like to discuss and debate. I like changes and challenges. I believe a personality is not a singular unity, but rather consists of mosaic pieces that each come out, flourish or vanish at different points in life. I don't believe in regrets, only growth.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Because through the locals is how to best get to know a place. Hostels are possible, but tend to stress me out and therefore diminish the experience of a city or country, in my opinion.
Once I'm more settled, I would love to give back by hosting people myself.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Lived and roadtripped in New Zealand with my best friend/soulmate/sister of 20+ years, and fell in love with someone there, too. It was a dream come true.
