ABOUT ME

It is not how much we have, but how much we enjoy, that makes happiness. :)
I am a laid-back, friendly girl, always up for a chat and swapping stories with other travelers. I spent the past few years working/traveling, and have met some amazing Couchsurfing friends along the way. I have surfed, but never hosted. Now that I am more settle for a while, I'd love to give back to the CS community!!

PHILOSOPHY

Restless Feet. Easy Conversationalist. Outdoor enthusiast.

"The very basic core of a man's living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun. If you want to get more out of life, you must lose your inclination for monotonous security and adopt a helter-skelter style of life that will at first appear to you to be crazy. But once you become accustomed to such a life you will see its full meaning and its incredible beauty.” Into The Wild

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I've been a surfer, and now hopefully start hosting fellow travelers, or just meeting with locals/travelers in my area.

I hope to explore as many places and meet as many people as I can. I love to push new boundaries and try new things.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've couchsurfed a few times and have only had positive experiences. I am still in contact with some of the awesome hosts I have stayed with, and I can't wait to give back to the CS community and host travelers, now that I am settled into my own place.
