ENGLISH
Hi everyone! My name is Alba Maldonado and I'm a Mexican girl. I'm 25 years old and traveling to Italy and Turkey has been my life's dream :) I studied a degree course in foreign languages ​​and I speak Italian, Spanish, English, French and a little Turkish. But now I'm about to finish another degree course in ethnohistory (history and anthropology). Now I am Spanish teacher for foreigners, an amateur actress and ethnohistorian. I love nature so much!!! Here in Mexico City I am doing a research work on the Minerva Garden and the Salerno Medical School from the 9th to the 13th century. I also like arts, talking with foreign people, traveling far and taking care of animals; but unfortunately here in CDMX (Mexico City) I didn't have the opportunity to do everything I just wrote to you. I'd like to meet you to enrich my life with this new experience :) I think I'm a calm but sunny girl: I like to chat, play and learn new things.

ITALIANO
Ciao a tutti! Mi chiamo Alba Maldonado e sono una ragazza messicana. Ho 25 anni e viaggiare in Italia e Turchia é stato il sogno della mia vita :) ho studiato un corso di laurea in lingue straniere e parlo italiano, spagnolo, inglese, francese e un po' di turco. Ma ora sto per finire un'altro corso di laurea in etnostoria (cioe' storia ed antropologia). Adesso sono professoressa di Spagnolo per stranieri, attrice amateur ed etnostoriatrice. Mi piace un sacco la natura!!! Qui a Citta' del Messico sto facendo un lavoro di ricerca sul Giardino della Minerva e La Scuola Medica Salernitana dal secolo IX al XIII, Anche mi piace l'arte, parlare con persone straniere, viaggiare lontano e prendere cura degli animali; ma sfortunatamente qui a CDMX (Citta' del Messico) non ho avuto l'opportunita' di far tutto quello che appena vi ho scritto. Mi piacerebbe conoscervi per arricchire la mia vita con questa nuova esperienza :) Penso che sono una ragazza tranquilla ma solare: mi piace chiacchierare, giocare e conoscere cose nuove.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am currently studying Ethnohistory in Mexico City and the purpose of going to Italy is to make an ethnography about the botanical garden in Salerno. I'am student and I have not so much money for paying longstays in hostels neither airbnb, lol, so I guess couchsurfing can really help me with that and also I like intercurtural exchange, becauseI would love to make friends during my stay in Italy while visiting new cities and doing my fieldwork.
