Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to make new FRIENDS from all over the world! Im curious to learn about different cultures and pic up some useful phrases in different languages.

Im not here for dating or anything similar. If you don’t know yet there are apps that are made for exactly such purpose!(—> TINDER) Please go and use them instead! Thanks :)

For me it’s important to meet locals because they give you a completely different impression of the place you are visiting.

I find it not so important to just check off countries of your list but to truly understand the people and get to know different facets of a country.

Music, Movies, and Books

My music taste changes quite a lot.
I listen to a lot of music in spanish: I really like Indie Rock, Reggae and I’m also listening to Trap, Rock and sometimes Reggaeton.
I like brasilian Reggae ☺️
I (mostly) like to get inspired by other people’s music. ✨
So I would be happy if you show me your favourite songs :)

I’m really bad in remembering the stories from movies and books.
I really liked the movies fight club, inception, 12 monkeys, contratiempo.

I like TV series better than movies, here are the ones I can definitely recommend:
Better than us, Black mirror, Better call Saul, Dark, Living with yourself, Bojack Horseman, der Tatortreiniger.

Books i like are: The Alchemist (Coelho), Crime and Punishment (Dostojewski), The why cafe (Strelecky) and a book called the joker I read some time ago but please don’t ask me what it’s exactly about because I remember just a little. 😅
I haven’t been reading a lot in the past years but I would like to read more in the future. So recommendations are also welcome

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I really love traveling alone because you kind of have the urge to meet and connect with new people and to reach out. Which sometimes is a little hard for me as I’m introverted and sometimes shy but I feel like it helps me grow. :)

I was living and studying in Mexico for a year and I totally fell in love with this country! ♥️🇲🇽

I tattooed a friend of mine. It was so much fun and such a cool experience 🤍

Teach, Learn, Share

I can show you some delicious vegan recipes 🍝
We can do a language exchange of course. I am trying to learn some Russian on my own and I also want to practice my Portuguese. 💬
Trying my best to avoid single use plastic and travel more sustainable ✨

What I Can Share with Hosts

I really like to cook (only vegan🌱) although I often don’t have a lot of time in my everyday life.

I can teach you how to dance Salsa, Bachata and Forro basics 💃🏼

If you want me to I can paint stuff in your house 🎨
