Hello everybody, I'm (Maria) Ceci, obsessed with traveling, languages, food, plants, fabrics, and ancient cultures.
I've been part of CS for 13 years!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because it's amazing!

I've both surfed couches and hosted people.
I've had too many perfect CS-experiences in many countries, and hope to continue to make friends and learn about different cultures and traditions.

CS has allowed me to travel more than I ever thought I would and thanks to this community I've met some of the most important people in my life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Being alive and healthy.
Turning my mother into a globetrotter.
Learning 14 languages and being able to understand and speak to about 4.5 billion people on this planet.

Living in Mexico, China and Russia.

Teach, Learn, Share

Would love to learn about your culture and your family, how the lifestyle is where you live, where your family is from, how you feel about your country,etc

It would be cool if you could write/speak to me in any other languages I speak if your native language is neither English nor Spanish.
