CURRENT MISSION
I DO NOT HOST MALES WITHOUT REFERENCES FOR SAFETY REASONS

showing people my light (and my city)

ABOUT ME

I am a city girl who loves the nightlife, hiking, dining and dancing. I also love the great outdoors and have no problem camping in the wilderness or hiking in the jungle without a toilet or shower for days on end. I see travel as a valuable form of education and it has been my focus for the past 15 years now.
I do not host surfers without references for safety reasons.

PHILOSOPHY

Travel now while you can, don't wait till retirement! Retire every year for a month or three.

Be kind to all.
