About Me

I am a cello student and I love classical music and arts in general. I also like painting, mainly watercolors and one of my passions is world literature. I like to walk, I find it the best way to really know a place and apreciate it. I also like taking my shoes off, feeling the grass, the wind and just enjoy the landscape. Im interested in astrophysics and world history. As a student, Music has teached me the world doesn´t has barriers, and thanks to her I´ve started travelling and knowing different cultures. I also think music make us more humans and its a way to really make a change our society.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Mainly because it is a way more interesting experience than just staying in a hotel. When I visited La Havana last year I realized people have a lot to share, their experiences and their different points of view are a meaningful source of knowledge. I think CS makes it posible to really have a cultural exchange, also in my opinion, by having a conversation with a local you can really appreciate a place as it is, its more interesting than just reading an guide on the internet. On the other hand I love cooking, and I have learned that to know a culture you must start from their food, their music and their language. So maybe we can share some recipes and have a nice dinner while listening some music.
