Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love sharing my culture with people and at the same time learning more about their customs and traditions. I like interacting with people and make people laugh. I always love having a nice and interesting conversation. I highly believe that couchsurfing is also a place to meet new people, make great friends and exchange cool stories. I was recommended to try couchsurfing and I love it.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like all types of Music (pop, hip hop, electro, rap, rock)
As regards Movies I can say that I prefer a good drama or comedy but if the story is interesting, any genre would be appreciated.
Regarding books I have to say that I prefer detective stories with a lot of suspense. My favorite author is Dan Brown and my favorite book is Inferno, I also prefer reading novels or stories with an interesting cultural and historical background such as How to kill a mockingbird or animal farm.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Maybe it is not a great accomplishment but I believe it is a clear example that when you want to achieve something and you really believe on that it may become true. In 2011 I went to The Black Eyed Peas concert and I had the chance to meet them personally.
Another thing is that I have been working as a teacher for 8 years and in 2015, I got the Fulbright scholarship and lived and worked in the USA for a year.
I went backpacking to Colombia last summer and it was an amazing experience. I have also travelled around Europe in February, 2019.

Teach, Learn, Share

I think I am ready and prepared to teach everything I know, to learn more about new ways of life and personalities. To share and spread the idea that there is not better cultures or nations but on the contrary we are all humans and we have differences and similarities. We need to understand and value those aspects and open our minds to a new world.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook empanadas and alfajores de maicena. I can also share mate or terere which are typical drinks, I can sing either in english or spanish, I can also teach some Argentinian dances like chacarera or cumbia.
