About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Meet people in Madrid, my new home.

ABOUT ME

MOVED TO Madrid RECENTLY.

Wealth is the experiences you have and lessons you learn, not the car you drive and money you earn.
My greatest assets: memories, friends, and travels.

I want to embrace human connection and interaction, with whomever !!!

I am an outgoing and open-minded person. I'm fascinated with different cultures, languages and beliefs; I want to experience others' while sharing my own. I'm all smiles and I rarely become angry, and if I do it lasts about 5 minutes. If you make me laugh I'll love you.

PHILOSOPHY

My life is my own, I'm very independent. I'm a free spirit willing to try new things and see new places. I want to live my life so that when I die I'll look down on earth and think "that was an awesome ride." My independence leads to curiosity as well, I often wonder away from groups and do my own thing. I'm also slightly a hippie- I love trees, nature, recycling.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Life is a journey and each day is a new lesson, this is why I want to be part of Couch Surfing; we are all teachers and students!! So teach me, while I teach you.

I would like to couch surf and host people!!!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Not much, but I'm getting there. I love this community and the best part about CS is meeting the locals of where you're travelling and having the opportunity to do regular things with them because you get an experience you would never have gotten otherwise as a tourist. Couchsurfer and tourist are two destinct things for me!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

An exhilarating experience I had while in Spain was entering a bull pen with young calves. Being chased by them and attempting to have them run through the red cloth was scary and adrenaline rushes through your veins because you might end up in a hospital being hit and trampled by one.

When I was 16 diving into the world of fish in the Great Barrier Reef was out of this world. Swimming among the reef 'skyscrappers' watching the busy 'streets' below filled with colorful fish was more than incredible.
