Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The reason why I am interested in Couchsurfing comes from some time ago. I used to travel using "blablacar", and there I met a boy who talked to me a lot about Couchsurfing and how he had travelled around Europe using it. I thought It was an amazing and very useful idea.I love travelling and meeting new people who explain me everything about their countries and different habits :)

Interests

I am a joyful and cheerful girl who likes to spent time with the family and friends. I really like to be a support for them anytime they need. I am going to theater, dancing and painting lessons since I am a child. Furthermore, I have studied guitar and piano at the National Conservatory of Music, and I love to go to guitar reunions in parks and festivals where people pour the best inside them.
On the other side, I have worked as scientific teacher in a “Science for Kids” focus group with children aged between 2 and 12 years old. In the workshops we prepare several games and activities with a scientific background.

Music, Movies, and Books

First that all, I have to say that I LOVE cinema. I have whatched thousand of movies and I could talk about films during hours and hours.
I also like reading a lot. I have read books from Kafka, Albert Camus, Oscar Wilde and Virginia Wolf to Harry Potter (I am still waiting my letter from Hogwarts). But, without any doubt, my favorite literature is the Latinoamerican one. I really love Mario vargas Llosa, Gabriel García Marquez, Juan Rulfo, Julio Cortazar and Ernesto Sábato books.
And About music, as I said (or better writte) before, I can play the guitar and the piano. I guess that this is why I use to prefer th classical music, althought I also like listenig diffetent styles of music. But: FIRST AND FOREMOST, eternal love for international piano composers like Ludovico Einaudi and Ennio Morricone.
