About Linda:
I am outgoing and from the moment I heard about couchsurfing I just loved the idea. Travelling is my passion. Being a student of course there are financial limitations, but this site makes it a little easier. Amazing*S*

PHILOSOPHY

Feelings thoughts:

I don't feel complete and travelling the world gives me the sensation of fulfilling my need to escape from my daily life.
The eternal search for the meaning of life...

Philosophy:

1. Don't do to others what you don't want done to yourself.

2. Honesty will get you as far as you' ll ever want to go.

3. Things never turn out the way you expect them to, but often something different or better happens = when one door closes- cry not- a new will open!

About PEOPLE:

All everybody ever wants is to be understood and then accept inspite of or even because of it- that is true inner peace as a human being!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I think I need to learn a little about this site before I explain how I contribute*S*

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

2007:
I have just travelled around Asia for 2 months and all I can say is: Thank you to all the people I met who made it a wonderful experience. I never wanna stay in a hotel again when you can actually meet so many wonderful and amazing people in the world. CS makes the world smaller and more intimate!

2008
I just travelled around India for 5 weeks!
ABSOLUTELY CRAZY country.

2009
Went to Toulouse for 6 weeks- France is wonderful and I can't wait to go back to my other 'hometown'

Interests

I find people interesting. Understanding how the mind works. I am always in the middle of an existential crisis: why am I on this earth? And understanding others, can make you(me)understand yourself(myself)!

I love taking black and white pictures of cities..
I love sitting in parks taking in the atmosphere.
I love being with people sharing experiences and thoughts*S'

4. Melrose Place(At that point in time- it was GOOD!)
5. Ally McBeal-(Just watched a rerun and Oh MY GOD- they are the age I am now*Crazy*G)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing experience I have ever had was deciding to move to Paris two days before actually leaving. Sent out couch requests, surfed with a French guy in Paris and married that same guy a couple of months ago while traveling around the world:)

An interesting experience was chatting with a guy from the US and then deciding to visit him and taking a month long road trip with him without ever having met him before. That was really VERY exciting and scary at the same time! And it was in 2000 before the idea became common*hehe*

Teach, Learn, Share

Things are never what they seem!

Never be afraid to help others!
