ABOUT ME

It's hard to describe yourself in a little box....

I'm a student taking a temporary hiatus. working 2 jobs, volunteering and doing my best to enjoy life.

I like to keep active, have fun and always trying to appreciate the small things in life. I always expect myself to be outgoing, friendly and positive, but of course I do have my quiet and introvert moments. I love meeting new people from different cultures and any chance at an opportunity to learn more about different perspectives on life!

PHILOSOPHY

I think this is best summarized in 4 quotes...

1. Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

-Dr. Seuss

2. In the end, it's not going to matter how many breaths you took, but how many moments took your breath away - shing xiong

3. Whatever you do in life will be insignificant, but it's very important that you do it -Ghandi

4. It is in our interest to take care of others. self-centeredness is opposed to basic human nature. In our own interest as human beings we need to pay attention to our inner values. Sometimes people think compassion is only of help to others, while we get no benefit. This is a mistake. When you concern yourself with others, you naturally develop a sense of self-confidence. To held others takes courage and inner-strength. -Dalai Lama

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first experience was with Giselle Pronesti, a lovely porteña who showed me around the wonderful milonga culture that Buenos Aires has to offer. The second was with the lovely Etu Funes and her boyfriend who welcomed me into their home in Medoza. We were able to share a wonderful experience and an exchange of cultures that I will never forget :)

I'm always respectful and conscious of cleaning up after myself. I'm very big on communication; if someone is not happy with something, it's best to talk things out and find a happy medium :)
