About Me

I'm just new at couchsurfing but I'm not that new at traveling and the passion of discover new places and meet wonderful people in my way. And Couchsurfing is probably one of the best ways to do it, as I heard a lot from my friends experiences.
I'm a very normal girl, enthusiastic, positive and always looking for something to learn or to do. Love travelling, like most of everybody here. I'm spontaneous, like to join a new activity close to me or just take my backpack and stay away for few days at the weekend. Always something to do out door.
I've been living in Dublin for 2 and half years and since I moved my passion for traveling and discover new places its coming true.
I consider myself a very respectful person, always grateful of I received from the others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I always prepare my trip reading about the history of the places I will visit. I like to know why they do this or that. Love the fact of travel around on my own but is always nice to meet native people to show me the most interesting things you can visit or know about it and cannot being in any guide.
I think being an open minded person does mean to have the best passport than you can get.

Interests

I'm in the mood to meet people from different places and keep the positive part of each one. Even, I love sports, swimming, running, skiing, cycling, basketball,... One of my dreams do scuba diving in a exotic place, and parachuting. I'm training for a triathlon this year.
Activities are my passion, don't stop!
