About Me

I'm a simple, calm, friendly girl, who loves languages, culture, meeting people from all over, eating good food, and trying new stuff, traveling, and adventure.
Visiting new places with new travel companions is my favorite thing to do in the world.
I absolutely LOVE laughing and I really enjoy spending time with others, whether they are people I've met all my life, or strangers I just came across with but who smile and want to have a good time living life to the fullest!!
I gave myself the chance to try life as an au pair for a year in the USA. It is such an adventurous decision, because you never know where you'll end up and what people will be like. Thank God, I got lucky and met the most wonderful people ever. I am a totally different person after that experience. It taught me to get to know myself better and to appreciate people for who they are. It broadened my life perspective and made me hungry for more adventure and travels. Ever since then I don't want to stop traveling, visiting cool places and meeting awesome people.
In fact, I decided to repeat that experience and now I´m doing my Au Pair Part II, but now in France. Exploring Europe is my current mission.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Well, I'm here because it's the perfect place for meeting awesome people from everywhere and finding cool plans to travel and visit the world in a relaxed and adventurous way.

Interests

I like spending time walking, taking photographs, drawing and painting. I love learning different languages and about different cultures. Also, I like swimming, hiking, roller-skating and ice-skating.
Reading a nice book in a nice park is one of my favorite activities.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'll share here a couple of my favorite mottos:
- "Stay hungry. Stay foolish." Steve Jobs.
- "El mundo es tan grande, que.... ¿Cómo renunciar a seguir descubriéndolo?"
-"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So, throw off the bowlines. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
-"Dreams are necessary to life." Anais Nin.
-"La vida no es exacta como las matemáticas, es un arte como la música."
"Life is what you make it." "You are the thinker of your thoughts and doer of your actions".

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Skydiving: I ADORE the adrenaline from free fall!!
One month of solo backpacking through Ecuador and Perú without a real plan or itinerary, only a goal in mind: Gettting to Machu Pichu.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can certainly teach English and Spanish. I would love to practice and learn more French, and it would be amazing to learn some Portuguese and Italian, since I absolutely LOVE romance languages.
Also, I love roller skating, but I'm not the best at it, so if you happen to have some skates and want to hit the road with me... let's go!!!! ;)
