My name is Valeria. I am 31 years old and living in Berlin, Germany. I am originally from Toronto, Canada.

CS was an excellent experience for me when I surfed regularly in my early/mid 20s and thought it was time that I pay it forward. I look forward to making new friends here!

Before requesting to stay with me, please go through my profile first to make sure we are a good match. When introducing yourself, let me know what your plans in the city are and why you chose my profile.

About me: I was born in Central America, but was raised in Canada and lived there most of my life. I am fluent in English and Spanish and am working on my German (currently B2).

I admire body art and have a hobby for tattoos and piercings. I have about a dozen piercings and several large tattoos, and many more to come. I often travel to see my tattoo artists as some of the best are located all over the world.

I'm very big into fitness and love running, weight training, biking and generally anything that can keep me active. You'll find me physically active inside and outside gyms at least 5x a week. I maintain an active and healthy lifestyle with both exercise and diet. I don't drink alcohol very often nor eat much junk food.

I'm very active in the underground electronic music scene, in both Berlin and Toronto. Berlin is the techno capital of the world and has one of the best nightlife scenes in the world. You will soon understand why this is my favourite city in the world! 😁

I have a young cat who lives with me. He's very cute and friendly. 🙂 If you are allergic, I don't think my home is right for you as you'll likely be uncomfortable. Sorry, but my kitty's comfort is more important than yours. 🤗 (more than mine too!)

**If you put Vee instead of Valeria when sending me a message, I'll be inclined to think you didn't read through my profile.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Take me out of the tourist traps and show me the way you live. Heard great feedback from other people who've used it, it seems like a more legitimate way to meet and get immersed in the actual local culture, and of course meet great people.

If you know where all the local hipsters hang out, take me there, as it's probably where someone like me belongs.

Interests

I am a big music fan, with the weight of my interests in techno and house. I especially love to travel and go to international festivals to experience what is not available at home. :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I breathe 80% techno and 20% house

Don't watch too much TV but I can binge Netflix if given the chance!
