About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To expand all my capacities

ABOUT ME

I'm fun,queer , funny, single, creative, meditative, philosophical, in touch with my emotions, easy to connect with, easy to talk to, tons of energy, respectful of everyone's beliefs and lifestyle, loving, happy, motivated, and relaxed.

PHILOSOPHY

Stay centered, stay authentic and every experience will be authentic. When I can't accomplish both of those I try to have fun with whomever whatever is in front of me at the time.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hope to sleep on some sofas and learn something from the people I connect with! Something personal about their city, their space or themselves.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had the best experience in Paris where I was hosted by someone so generous and fun from couch surfing. I'm not as much into being a tourist when I travel as I am in feeling like I live there and my experience in Paris was really on par.
