Overview
About Me
I am an outgoing person who constantly seeks new challenges and opportunities not only in New Zealand but also abroad.
Learning is what I am focused on currently with a focus on other countries, cultures and languages. At the moment, I am learning German and will hopefully learn more as I travel through Germany.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I hope to meet other like-minded people who love to travel and see different places. At the same time, I will be travelling through Germany for hopefully up to 6 months to learn the language. It has always been on my bucket list to learn the language.
Interests
I am a dancer and have been doing it for nearly 5 years now. Can't believe it has been that long already. To be honest, I never knew I was ever going to be a dancer, it just started while I was in Argentina and now in New Zealand, I dance Salsa and Bachata. So if you are keen to dance, know that I will always be happy to dance with you, at your pace.

Music, Movies, and Books
I have just started listening to German Schlager music recently. Vanessa Mai and Roland Kaiser have to be my favourite singers though I have not heard that many so far. As I learn German I hope to listen to more music and immerse myself more into it.
I can't say I watch movies but I do love watching Youtube. I particularly love watching content by Peter McKinnon.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Just recently, I surprised myself by participating in a dance competition, the New Zealand Salsa Open, and came first in 3 categories one of which was a team category. I can't say how proud I am of my team and the work they all put into the training.
Teach, Learn, Share
I am more than happy to teach others in Salsa and Bachata dancing but also learn other dance styles. Always wanted to try a bit of hip hop and formation dancing.
Also, I love cooking when on my own and hope to always try new recipes. I promise I won't burn down your kitchen.
What I Can Share with Hosts
Knowledge of a little known country called New Zealand but also a nice personality and be a person who will always be happy to help around the house such as cooking and cleaning.
