ABOUT ME

You know those people that do a little bit of everything? That's me. To be specific, I love traveling, languages, culture, psychology, social reform, human rights, reading, and writing. You can check out my travel blog here:

PHILOSOPHY

"Ichi-go ichi-e" It means "this is a once-in-a-lifetime chance" in Japanese. I try to live every opportunity like I'll never have it again.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have used CS to meet new people and find places to stay. I'm not interested in using it as a dating site, but I am definitely interested in meeting new people and having adventures together!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I once stayed with two other friends at a CouchSurfing location in Boulder, Colorado. It was the perfect ending to the most unpredictable day: My friend and I woke up one morning and decided that we were going to go to Denver (2 hours away) and just see what happened--no plan. It was a wild ride!

Interests

I love the outdoors and enjoy hiking, biking, and spelunking. I also read like a fiend. I am the kind of person that enjoys trying new things and letting life live itself, without trying to plan everything all the time. I especially enjoy dance-- Latin dances specifically, though I've also done swing and belly dance. There is a special place in my heart for the game of pool.

I write a blog about some of my adventures... check it out here: capricefeliz.wordpress.com

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Dancing the forro with Brazilians between lines of drying clothes at midnight on a rooftop in Japan.
Gazing down from a mountaintop in Sitka, Alaska.
Standing on the shore of el Rio Negro in Colonia, Uruguay feeling the wind blowing wildly all around me and knowing that I was just a small piece of a very large world.
