CURRENT MISSION To visit all the possible places in Latin America! ABOUT ME TOTALMENTE APASIONADA POR AMERICA LATINA! Mi plan es visitar todos los paises latinoamericanos y conocer bien la cultura latinoamericana. Mi primera lengua extranjera es español = prefiero hablar español (NO ingles) :D Entonces si son de America Latina escribanme en español, porfa ;) I love travelling and since I was a child I had been dreaming about going to South America. I don't know why but I was always crazy about this region. I started to learn Spanish (and later also Portuguese), Latin American dances etc. And suddenly I got an amazing opportunity of visiting South America - I went to Brazil for the exchange program. I spent one semester in Sao Paulo studying international economics. I used this time for travelling not only around Brazil but also in some other countries and I spent there time of my life. And then I came back there again, moved to Lima, Peru, where I was participating in a volunteer program... but also had a lot of possibilities to travel around. And then... I started to travel as much as possible to Latin America (did some long lonely backpacking tours through Mexico, Central America and then South America) and also I started to work as a tour leader guiding Polish groups through Latin America! :D PHILOSOPHY I haven't been everywhere, but it's on my list
Interested in Books & Literature
Interested in Cycling
Fluent in English
Learning German
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I didn't know that CS is such a wonderful thing until I went for my exchange program to Brazil and I started to travel there using CS. I was couchsurfing during all my South American travels in six countries and all the experiences were unforgettable! I met great people, visited interesting places (that most tourists don't know) and also had some nice parties :) I know that it can sound a bit trite but now I really cannot imagine travelling without Couchsurfing.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
There are some of them: - Road trip in southern Patagonia, i.e. four girls, one car and the roads of Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego (Land of Fire); - lonely Amazon River cruise; - Cycling down the most dangerous road in the world - Bolivia's Death Road; - 2 great carnivals: in Rio de Janeiro and in Salvador, Bahia
Teach, Learn, Share
I would like to learn more Portuguese (as it is still not really good) and some Latin American dances. But I'm also always really interested in practising my Spanish. And I can teach you Polish ;)
