CURRENT MISSION to plant the seed of love everywhere I go

ABOUT ME * * *
After 3 years moving around and travelling, I decided to make New Zealand my home. I have been here since 2011 and My backpack is accumulating dust nowadays, since i dont travel for extended periods of time anymore. I am not as active on Couchsurfing as I used to be for different reasons, however it is always nice to meet people for a chat if I have time. * * * .

I like to describe myself as "Travel-addict, extroverted, conversationalist, nomad, with a chronic case of Peter Pan syndrome... oh, and according to my friends: "naturally high".

According to Travel Brain (Facebook app): "Bianca is a globetrotter that doesn't mind roughing it, is happy with a roof and running water, lives on the edge, has great travel credibility, fits in with the locals and has been to 233 cities in 40 countries. "

To know more about me, just read my references.

---- PHILOSOPHY "Life is short: Break the rules, forgive quickly, love truly, laugh uncontrollably, and NEVER regret anything that made you smile. Life may not be the party we hoped for, but since we're here, LET'S DANCE!"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

because it is an awesome way to meet people while traveling!!!
