About Me

First of all, I'm not accepting guests because I'm travelling around East Europe until February or March! When I get back, of course I will be able to host in my house!

Well I'm an outgoing person who likes, obviously, to travel around the word and meet people of all nationalities. I think CS is really good because you share experiences, talks, view points with people that know, obviously, much more than I about the reality of the country that he/she lives.

I'm easy going too and I think I have the aptitude to adapt in any circumstances and places that I go. That's why I've lived in four countries and I didn't have problems at all. I lived for 1 year in Canada, for 2 years in Chile and for 5 years in Bolivia. I hope that this year (2016) I can find a job in an NGO in Europe or in Africa.

I've always worked in NGOs because I think is one of the jobs that you can help and work with people that are living in a vulnerable conditions and you can make a long term change for their lives.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think hosting people that are travelling around the world is the most grateful expierience beause they and I have a lot of thing to say, to talk and, of course, to visit.

When you are a host you have to be proud because travelers are visiting your city and for me it's good to have talks and show them the beautiful city and the country that I live.

The best way to undertand how the word works is to talk and discuss to people around the world.

Interests

Reading
I love discussing with the people who have different point of view to mine, especially people from another country or continent different than mine!
I love sports, any sports but specially football. I wish I could go to a football game in every country that I have visited!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach a little bit of Spanish :) with a weird accent hahaha

What I Can Share with Hosts
