About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My current mission is to be filled with little details, small scale big impact.

ABOUT ME

I am passionate, caring and full of life. I am open to live all kind of experience and anxious to know the world. I am a volunteer and believe in the power of help and goodness. I also believe that education is the key for success, not only to receive but to give it. I work as a counselor and instructor in summer camps and field trips in my country and love off bound adventures and education, I also am a tutor for vulnerable kids in poor neighbourhoods in my city and also tutor for kids that need extra help at school. The same way I love to learn new things and discover the world by living it.

PHILOSOPHY

Be the change you want to see.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am new to this! But I am anxious to make the best of CS, I LOVE LOVE to travel, I believe it is the best way not to waste money but to invest it.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Not YET much, my brother introduced me to it since he traveled through Europe couch surfing, and I could not believe that this actually existed since I had before thought it should be like this! I absolutely love to travel, but travel not only to the typical destinations and sites, but into the cities and towns, know the intimacy of each culture and relate to the locals more than the tourists.

Interests

I like to teach, sports, travel, learn, taste new flavours, meet new people and make the best of every moment.
I like to find solutions to problems and be a help to those who need it.
