CURRENT MISSION

See as much as the world as I can and meet up with people of all cultures

ABOUT ME

I am very open-minded, and I love to have fun and discover new things about people and the locations I visit. I want to become a film director and screenwriter, and find it important to know more about the world and humanity itself in order to create a great story. I am also interested in learning new languages, and plan to take up Swedish or German after I feel like I've "perfected" my French. Other than that, I speak English and Spanish fluently. I also love different kinds of arts, such as film, music, literature and cooking.

PHILOSOPHY

Money should mostly be spent on experiences, rather than solid objects.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've stayed at peoples' houses through CS a total of two times, and they have both been very interesting and great experiences. I think CS is a great way to get around and meet people who can teach you a lot about the richness of the cities they live in. Finding out where your host lives is more of an adventure than just asking people how to get to a hostel. :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveling Europe by myself for 10 weeks was definitely the feat of a lifetime. There were many great moments I could mention, but the one that stands out the most was going to the top of the Eiffel Tower. I'm afraid of heights, so I felt very powerful and confident when I was finally able to muster enough courage to ride that [safe] elevator. It took courage and some convincing from two people I met at the hostel. :)
