Hi 👋🏻 I am Maria, 27, venezuelan raised in Panama. Travelling to Europe for the first time!

I'm very friendly, respectful and easygoing, I laugh a lot 😄I can have fun in a supermarket or just walking around enjoying the simple, wholesome moments.

My whole vibe is mainly focused on friendly connections, peace and authenticity.
I work in an elementary school and I love being silly and doing creative things.

Both an extrovert and an introvert. I love dancing, talking, hiking (even if I'm slow haha) but I am also into board games, fantasy books and quiet moments.

FYI I am not a ´party hard´ person, personally I don't drink nor do other stuff. Yet I do love to dance and performative events like drag shows, I am just quite uncomfortable around drugs and very drunk people.

Please note that I travel in friendly terms, not looking for romance just looking for good talks and human connection haha 🙌🏻✨

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love people, interesting people, and travelers tend to have such great stories. I also love seeing people supporting each other.

Huge fan of solo travelling, I grew a LOT from it. It forces you to build self trust, resilience and take life with a lighter perspective and simplicity 💖

I'm travelling, for the first time in Europe, currently in Spain and would like to borrow as many couches and food recommendations as possible haha, specially in Italy cause accommodation is so expensive!!!🥲 my Latin American pocket will thank you, Grazie in advance!

Interests

I have been wanting to go to Europe since I worked on a hostel back in 2021, finally saved enough to fullfil this dream summer 2025 😃💖

As of today I play dungeons and dragons, currently learning tango dance, have a 4 y/o dog named Luka, I had backpacked a bit in USA and a lot in Panama, I adore cooking (specially pasta), I dance tango (barely learning) currently finished the book Fourth Wing and going for the next

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In Japan I stayed with a family who had a tv inside their bathroom 😂

Slept once on a platform in the middle of the Caribbean sea 😲

Shaved my head in March 2020 just out of the curiosity of how it would feel and how my head looked (it looked good btw) 😂

I was very close to eat crocodile meat but a dog literally stole it from my plate. It stings until this day cause I was excited 😂😅

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook you something or help you with your Spanish/English or practice japanese 🤭 I'm kinda good with arts and creative thing if you have any project going on or would like to go sit on a park and paint
