My name is Maria Emilia, I'm from Venezuela and I'm a postgrad student in Dijon, France since 2018.
I'm easy going, I enjoy new experiences and I adore animals, especially dogs.

Now that I'm living in Europe, I'd love to be able to travel to new cities and getting to know new people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really like travelling alone and being on my own, but I also enjoy talking to other people and learning from their experiences abroad, and from their home culture. That's why I'm here, and why I'd like to meet you :)

Interests

I love walking my 3 lovely dogs, watching a good movie, listening to good music (love indie pop - not an electronic lover), graving some dinner and drinks, playing board games, go bowling , watching a movie or tv series, walking around a new city, going to classical music concerts, visiting galleries, watching people dance and dance myself.

If curious, just ask!

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy music depending on my mood, which leads to a wide range of musical genres that go from Classical (Mozart, Tchaikovsky, Bach, etc) to the top 40's of the month and everything in between.

For the past few years, I've been in love with Ed Sheeran's music.

In the movies department, I can tell you what I don't like: Horror movies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I don't know if it's "amazing" but I have 3 lovely adopted doggies that I took right off the streets.

Also, I volunteered once at a children's hospital giving presents on Christmas while wearing a snow white costume. It was one of the hardest yet most rewarding experiences I've ever had.

During my last year of University, I volunteered for several months giving lectures at different schools, raising awareness about sexual and reproductive health, risks and protection.

Teach, Learn, Share

Maybe some Spanish? I'm willing to learn and share as much as I can! Please keep in mind that English, French and Italian are languages I also look forward to practicing so maybe we can switch from one language to the other! :)

I enjoy listening to other's experiences and sharing my own.

I also LOVE listening to other people's favorite music, so please, feel free to share.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I offer to get us a bottle of wine - or two - and some nice Tapas while we indulge ourselves in a nice conversation!

Also, if you're interested in learning Spanish I can teach you the basics
