Hi, I am Amaya,

I consider myself an open-minded and positive person, always with a smile on her face.
I do sports and I like new adventures, but what I like most is traveling around the world and meeting new people and cultures.
This is the main reason I am here.

I started traveling solo for an international cooperation in Haiti, and every year I travel to different countries for volunteering, Recently, I´ve been to Vietnam and Morocco and every experience is unique.
The best part of this is that you can get into a culture with local people and learn about their lifestyles and opinions.

My philosophy is "it is now or never", you have to be brave and fight for the things you want even they are not easy, because "where there is a will, there is a way".

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new and different people from all over the world and share different points of view and lifestyles.
I think the people is the reflection of one society, so If you want to know about a culture, first meet the locals and their ways of live.

Interests

The adventures, I must say, sometimes risky adventures, traveling, meeting new people and cultures, nature and landscapes, hiking mountains

More interests and sports: running, swimming, cycling and always open to try new ones.
