About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel Europe, meet a few nice people and make some good friends.

ABOUT ME

I am the kind of person who doesn't enjoy routines or schedules. Some say that my head is always somewhere else but in reality I am setting up new goals for myself & working hard towards them.

PHILOSOPHY

"The world is a book & those who don't travel only read one page." -St. Augustine

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Helping out others seek new experiences via couch surfing :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The few times I have done it, it has been amazing! A lot of fun and you meet great people :) I think this project is a great way to exchange cultures and make lasting friendships along the way.

ALSO: Please, if you send me an invite and I accept, don't just dissappear and not give me any contact information. I know being a host is not easy but us surfers also have a hard time. So please don't be rude and say that I could sleep on your couch when it's really not possible! Thank you so so so much :)

Interests

I know it sounds cheesy but READING! I'm a huge book lover (I mean like real, paper books, not that Kindle or iPad eBook stuff). I find modern art and photography extremely stimulating to the mind & a foreign film or two a month at the local cinema make me quite happy :) I'm also big into learning new languages :) For the time being I know only Spanish & English fluently but I am currently studying Dutch, I can read Frech (but not for the life of me can I speak it) & one day I hope to learn German and Italian.

Music, Movies, and Books

All books by Isabel Allende & Phillipa Gregory. & of course my childhood obsession: Harry Potter 1-7. Movies I like a little bit of everything but especially comedy and horror :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

New Year's fireworks right next to Big Ben and London Eye!
Cliff diving in the Mayan Riviera.
Zip-line in Zacatecas.
Seeing a real whale for the fist time off the coast of British Columbia.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you Spanish, my homeland traditions and maybe some useless Star Wars & Harry Potter trivia, lol.

I'm up for learning anything new, language, books, customs..think of me as a sponge for knowledge :)

I want to share my life and travel experience with other people just as much as I want to learn about theirs, I think it makes us all the wiser and more appreciative of new friendships.
