Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have 30 days of vacations so.... what would be better than traveling and experiencing new adventures?
Currently my choise is USA! Why? because I studied english for around 2 years, 6 years ago so I really need to tale it again, I love this lenguage and of course the country. I'd say it's, its culture, food, architecture.
It would be another dream come true if I can go know Boston while improving my english speaking skills and have the Ielts test. That's my bigger motivation to travel.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I finished my Industrial Design Studies I decided to go out of my country to study English so I choose London to do it, during my first year (2011) I was working as a cleaner and waitress, it was so hard but necesary to pay my bills and also save money to travel, I had the chance to go to Egypt, Cairo and Sharm el Sheik- Scotland, Edinburgh, also some towns arround England.
When my first year ended I didn't want to go back home because I was having so much fun so and I needed time to do more things and learn more. That's why I extended my visa for one more year.
My second year (2012) was even better!, my english improved and my work became "easier" I worked as a babysitter and I really enjoy it since I feel so comfortable with kids, I absolutetly love them!
That year I took a bus trip around Europe which of course was incredible, I really enjoyed everything about this trip, That's why I know some cities of Italy <3, I visited Pisa, Florence, Roma, Venice.
