I believe the actions of a single person have an impact. Thatswhy if I want a world to be a better place I should do things that have a positive impact. I admire people who act in order to make a change.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It makes me better. I meet a lot of inspiring people here and it helps me to grow as a personality.
I am here for a cultural and lifestyle exchange.

Interests

Psycology: as a "user", I like reading books, articles, listening podcasts and I look for a guideness when I need

Healthy vegetarian food: I am vegetarian since my childhood and it was my own decision. I like cooking and I'm looking for fast, easy, delicious and nutritive vegetarian recipes

Reading: I'm recovering this habit. My family has a huge library and I feel good when I dedicate time to reading

Walking and hiking: I like long city walks, going to the parks and to the mountains to explore some easy trails

Bike riding: I like using bike as my transportation and I like to explore places by bike

Water activities: swimming, kayak, paddle board and going to see to lakes, rivers, waterfalls, sea or ocean.

Minimalism: I try to buy only the necessary things, use them smart, donate or sell what I don't need etc.

Eco-friendly life: I've lived in countries where caring of environment is not common, but I am on my way to implement more little actions that help us to live in a better world.

Latin America: that's the most curious part of the world for me. I learned Spanish to be able to communicate with locals and made my dream come true - went for a half a year trip to South America. It's kind of my travel specialization even though I travel and know about other countries as well.

Books: my favorite writer is Eduardo Galeano. I like books about different topics of psycology, "The five love languages" of Gary Chapman changed my mind! Besides his books - Margaret Mitchell "Gone with the wind", Daniel Keyes "Flowers for Algernon", Henry Harrer "7 years in Tibet", Richard Wright "Black Boy", Gabriel Garcia Marquez "Chronicle of a Death Foretold", Anthony Doerr "All the light we cannot see", H. Rider Haggard "Montezuma's daughter".

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
