About Me

CURRENT MISSION

"I am rambler, I am gambler, I am long way from my home...if the people don't like me, they can leave me alone"

ABOUT ME

"I aint no monkey but I know what I like"
"Well, if you want to sing out, sing out And if you want to be free, be free 'Cause there's a million things to be You know that there are"
I am a very relaxed, easy going, fun loving. I love to laugh. I love to explore and be in nature, but like the vibrance of the city. I am adicted to the ability to meet interesting and engaging people all around the world and share as many moments as I can with them!

I lived in Argentina for a year and loved it. Worked 6 months in rural rural Costa Rica during university gathering research for my BA thesis, lived a year in upstate new york, Rochester to be exact (heard of it???!!!! ahha) with an Americorps position at RIT, just finished in Sweden doing my masters studies for the past 2 years and in the mean time exploring as much of the european continent as possible!!! Now, as I have finished Uni in June I have been doing some traveling visiting friends in England and BUdapest and then working for a month teaching English in Italy and now have recently settled into my new place in Tirana, Albania for the upcoming academic year working with this EVS project, working with under-served youth in the community.

PHILOSOPHY

"I'll let you be in my dream, if I can be in yours"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have surfed alot (all over the world), go regular community groups events as well as random ones, wherever I happen to be! I have found it a useful resource for meeting people, getting advice, and all sorts of logistical questions when moving/visiting a new place.
