About Me

ABOUT ME

I am a person who loves to travel and to discover new places and people. I like to help people, so that's why I choose to be a doctor. I do international internships to see how the medical system works in other countries and to learn more about every place I go. It's like combining business with pleasure.

PHILOSOPHY
I prefer to visit cultures, not countries. I want to learn something from them , like dances or some traditional meals, so I whenever I miss that place, I can bring a little part of it in my home.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am still new in this... but I hope to change that soon :)

Interests

I love dancing: salsa, bachata, kizomba, cha cha, samba , and the list doesn't stop here. I love to discover traditional dances of other countries. I guess this is the best way to know people when I don't speak the language.
Handcraft: actually I love to spend my time doing embroidery, knitting; I find it very relaxing.
Cooking : I can prepare traditional moldavian food (placinte, sarmale, zeama) and I enjoy doing this. It started more like a necessity, but more I traveled, more I realized that I could bring a part of my country's culture on people's tables.
Languages: I work in medical field and sometime the patients are from abroad and don't speak the language of the country. Being sick can be already distressing, but being sick and not to understand what is going on and not to be able to say what is your pain I think is awful. That is why I try to learn as many languages as possible, so I could help in these situations and give my patients the best treatment possible.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like Latino music, pop, almost every genre, except talentless "songs".
I like good movies, but no horror.
For literature I don't have so much free time and most of my books are ether medicine related books or in German ( as I try now to learn this language).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I traveled alone to South America, learned to dance Samba, to cook brigadeiro and met wonderful people.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach and learn salsa and I want to learn more about other's cultures.
