About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I don't know what I want, but when I know, I'll know!

ABOUT ME

I am young, social, out-going and love to have fun!

I have lived in Spain on my own for 6 months this past year, doing a traineeship for my school at the reception of a 4* hotel. After living in a foreign country I have just felt the urge to travel and discover new things. I love being at home but something just tickles inside if I can travel.

When I first meet people I am quite calm and shy, but that usually goes away after a couple minutes of having met that person....I just sometimes wonder if that's a good thing since I tend to talk a LOT.. look how I've filled this thing already...it's worse in real life, so be prepared LOL.

PHILOSOPHY

I think you can never learn too much, and everything you learn/meet/see will affect you.

I don't have a final destination, I just want to keep on going.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I think this is a very good project, helping eachother out while we're all trying to explore new places and persons in the world. You can be a guide and be hosted, it's a give and take kinda thing just like love!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It's been so great thus far...I've met some of the nicest people in NYC and only had positive experiences!

Interests

Wow, this is a really long list if I'd write everything down.

But basically, I am interested in meeting new people, discovering new places, visiting a lot of sight-seeings of the places I go to and trying out the way of life in the place I am at, at the same moment.

I'm the kinda person, that if one says ''You'll probably don't like it there'' I'd say ''Let's go''.
That's just me. I like discovering places, even if it's a place I wouldn't like. At least you can say you didn't like it, with a good back-up.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm easy to please, really =).

1. I read about everything (philosophy,chicklits,thrillers, you name it!)

2. I listen about everything. I have got about 3,500 - No, that was in October. I've got 7600 songs on my iPod. (I love everything, from Pop to Jazz, Rock to R&B, Rap to Country... just found out about 3Oh!3, great band rock-punkie with hip-hop in the mix)

Music is probably my life, and I always look at the lyrics. Those are the most important part for me.

3. I like (romantic) comedies and thrillers in particular but I'm open-minded and I'm always in for other genres if the storyline appeals to me. I also like some tv-shows like Desperate Housewives, Gossip Girl and Lost and I'm in love with the soap opera ATWT.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

NEW YORK CITY, all of it (The Bronx was very - interesting. Walking throught it with my college class was the funniest experience EVER! I was walking next to one of my classmates with our arms around eachother and he's black, and 3/4 of my class is white and when we walked in one of The Bronx's streets ; someone on the street shouted : OH MY GOD, WHITE PEOPLE! )

It's indescribable for me to express how I've fallen in love with this city.

Teach, Learn, Share

Well , er- I don't know. I don't think I'm really good at a particular thing except talking a lot, lol. So if you've got issues with talking to people, I'll help ya get rid of that. Just kidding =)

But I'm alright in languages so I can help you with practicing on them...

Austria, Canada, Czech Republic, France, Tunisia, United States

Countries I’ve Lived In
