About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Meet people, see things, learn, and enjoy what little time I have! / También quisiera hablar en español con extranjeros que estén aprendiendo mi idioma

ABOUT ME

Avid poetry reader and occasional traveler. Love reading information, stories and experiences. I'd much rather listen than talk. I like to think of myself as a quiet person.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe you should treat others the way you would like to be treated.

Being a language teacher, I highly value traits like respect, tolerance and consideration for others and their personal space.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Willing to surf couches and let others surf mine.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've done my fair bit of travelling and have so far been put up by very kind guests in London, Paris and New York. I have also hosted people from Japan and England. :)

Interests

Languages, of course! Learning to communicate in a foreign language and managing to get your meaning across has been a truly rewarding experience for me. I also like walking around huge metropolis and seeing places off-the-beaten track. Wine tasting, visiting musems, reading and travelling make it also to my top ten!
