About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live, laugh, learn.

ABOUT ME

Easy-going, good sense of humor, honest. I enjoy sharing experienes but above all listening to people.
I lived in Argentina till I was 25 then moved to the USA, NC, for 3 years; ended up in Saudi Arabia for 2 and I am now in this small and green city called Al Ain.It's picturesque and has many parks and many water fountains.

I do lots of reading and like to share ideas about books and exchange them as well.

I love trekking, diving, camping, basically, spending time in nature.

I don't eat meat and don't like spicy food. Salads and pasta will do for me but above all the delicious Middle Eastern food!!

PHILOSOPHY

Happy starts inside.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I travel and surf more than I stay home and host. I'm usually out during weekends but if I'm home I'll be more than happy to host.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

little, but wonderful

Interests

I enjoy simple days with friends and also time alone, the movies (no dramas, horror or violence), a good book, music, and food.
I love nature and all it has to offer: the sea, desert, mountains, woods, grass, hills, wind, flowers. I pretty much enjoy and appreciate everything, or try to :) I dive and hash. I love travelling and hiking and also photography.

Music, Movies, and Books

Anything that is not violent, bloody or too much of a thriller.
I have become very interested in Buddhism lately though I was brought up a Chrisitian and have lived in a Muslim country for the past 3 years. Ironic?

My last books are: The Art of Happiness, Tales of a Russian Pilgrim (Cuentos de un peregrino ruso), Letterson Meditation, Initiation, Human and Solar,
No sere feliz pero tengo marido (I may not be happy but I have a husband), The healing power of water.
If anyone is interested in these topics and would like to share ideas, please contact me!! :)

Music: I love Yanni!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ALso Queen, Hooobastank, Elton John, U2, Bon Jovi, Avril Lavigne, Keane, Phil Collins, Enya, Celtic music, Alanise Morissette, Celine Dion, Richard Clayderman, The Goo Goo Dolls, Andres Calamaro, MAroon 5, The Cranberries, Nickelback, George Harrison (esp. My Sweet Lord)

I don't eat meat and absolutely love natural fruit juices, especially cocktails. Yummy!!!!!
I also greatly enjoy Middle Eastern cuisine, particularly Lebanese.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Baby whale shark, huge manta ray.
Drove from San Diego to Los Angeles going through Death Valley, Mojave Desert, and Joshua Tree National Park, on my own and during Christmas time!
The northern lights in Tromso, Norway.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can tell about my country, my people, my experience and travels in the USA and also in the Middle East. I am thirty and have, fortunately, been able to learn to enjoy small simple things which in the end, are the ones that make life what it is. I know where I stand and know where I'm going (well, I'm not so sure about this last one ;p).
