Hi, my name is Alicia, before starting college I decided to take a gap year in order to improve my english but first of all meet and share several moments with people. Moreover, discover different landscapes and be speechless by what nature can offer us. Almost four years after deciding to take a gap year I am still in Australia where I studied Visual Art and currently completing a diploma in Early Childhood Care and Education.

I am very passionate by human connections, art and animals; they are the three main things that put me in a very special state.

I cherish everything that has been given to us, nature is so resourcing and makes every worry quite unimportant at times.

We have only one life and no one is going to live for us so we have to give a sense to what we want, what we do.

→ I receive a lot of messages per week and it's difficult for me to gothrough all of them at times. If you're not genuine in your request and are only searching for a free accomodation, I will decline your request and won't spend time in giving you an explanation.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is the network which connects people in different way than others. It allows us to meet people from all over the world. We get an unique experiences through couchsurfing. It depends where we are going, who we are going to meet but each time it's special and intense. Everyone in this world is here to teach something and to learn something. With couchsurfing this connection that we can have with people for a short or long term is always incredible and unforgettable. Couchsurfing created so many memories and brought amazing people in my life and it won't end soon.
It's where we discover, where we share.
