I never really know what to say about myself in these things... Maybe eclectic, scatterbrained, easy for a laugh describes me best but more importantly I'm curious to hear other's stories.

I'm a huge tea lover and drink it like a fiend. So if you ever stop by, I'll provide the good tea, you can provide the good company :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

we're all in this together and keeping an open mind through an open door is a great reminder of that

I first started hosting a group (which expanded from two) of French traveller's through a 3-month span which was a complete pleasure. I couldn't stop. I continued hosting more and eventually took a hilarious world wind travel adventure with my best friend couchsurfing styles - meeting more cool cats and visiting past ones in their homes. That exchange was as like kodak moments 24/7.

I have been the couchhoster, couchsurfer, and traveler and all I have to say is that people will never cease to surprise me. I have met (too) many amazing characters that remind me to live and be present.. so thank you to those who have made a lasting impression on me

Now I try to continue the couchsurfing initiative - it's definitely worth it
