Hey there!

If I had to explain myself in five words, those words would be “spontaneous, energetic, and totally weird. That’s only three words.Oh well, I guess I should have thought of that before I started writing. Too late now.

So what about me? I’m a travel junkie, unconventional one though because I always try to find the less-visited, but also most astounding places. I find peace in being outdoors and going for a challenging hikes; it fills me with energy and happiness. We all need a bit more of that right? :-) So there’s also other things I dig: biking, camping, volunteering, photography, dancing, and any new experiences with mind-altering perspectives.

I have been surrounded by the Latin-American and European cultures, which involve a very cultural mix regarding all aspects of life. I will do my best to introduce to you the best of both worlds.

I'm currently starting a lifestyle & travel blog with the best activities, restaurants, and places to see around the world based on my personal experience! Feel free to have a look at my page: www.labonnevivante.me

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The number one reason is meeting people from different places while traveling. But I guess all of you do the same thing? =) ... I want to learn new skills, knowledge, insights from the people I meet, and who knows.. maybe find good friends along the road !

If you happen to stop by Hamburg.. let me know! I would be willing to show you the city and its highlights!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I am a very open-minded person, therefore I don't stick to one genre of music. Until now, I have favorite songs in pop, rnb, hiphop, salsa, merengue, electro, swing, classical, rock, classic rock... etc etc.. I love to dance, so be prepared for it =P

Movies/TV Shows: I appreciate good movies and shows, and we can talk about these when we meet. Above all, I love the ones with mind-twisters, but there are very few of them.

Books: At the moment reading The Enzyme Factor, Moral Animal, and reading a love book in German ;)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sleeping outside under an unbelievable night sky at the San Blas Islands in Panama. Beautiful shooting stars!

Being close to Humpback whales while fishing early in the morning.

Volunteering/camping in the Panamanian Jungle.

These are just a few, and I hopefully many more to come!
