ABOUT ME

Hola surfers! My name is Analia, I´m 33 years old and I'm from Buenos Aires, Argentina.

I am a traveler, at the moment finishing 4 month in India and on my way home. My first travel experience was in New Zealand 5 years ago. I had met very interesting people from all continents, different cultures and customs, which has enriched my mind, my ideas and my ability to understand the human being. I lived 1 year in NZ, 2 in Australia, and a few months in England. I also traveled around South America and SoutheastAsia.

A few years a go some friends told me about the experience of CouchSurfing, I did not know much about it before. I had the opportunity to meet some surfers in New Zealand and Argentina, and it was actually really interesting to see something out side of the "backpacker" world and share the warmth of home and the stories of local people. I had had my first experience in ASHBURTON, NZ. It was sooo great!

My future plans are to continue touring for a few more weeks, next destinations: Istanbul, Morocco and Spain.

To know more about me, I tell you: I`m an Spanish teacher. I studied Communication Sciences at the University of Buenos Aires. I grew up in a suburb on the outskirts of the city. After I left my mother's house I lived with some friends, my brother sometimes, and by myself for a while in Buenos Aires.

I am very flexible person and I really love to share life and houses with new people. I can not imagine life without good music and good food. I love movies and literature, and enjoy a good meal with friends. In Buenos Aires I have a huge family, with mother, father, stepmother, 3 siblings and mainly old friends that I will miss so much.

I hope to have the opportunity to visit and meet you soon! And have no doubt that when I´ll return to Buenos Aires you will be welcome in my home or will find my help to get around the wonders of my lovely city!

Greetings and good life!

Analia.

PHILOSOPHY

In Spanish I say: Piensa menos y vive más!

In English: Let it flow!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I´d like to tell you guys, about my last experience in Ashburton, New Zealand:

Me and my friend spent two days in Mark´s couch, it was a great sufer experience!. We felt very comfortable. The house is beautifull, sorruonded by nature and animals. We´ve got the chance to watched an amaizing sunset and share a delicius meal with Mark and a lovely french couple who were staying there as helpers as well! He is very generous and funny man. He invited us to have lunch in an absolutlty lovely farm-cafe near Timaru,
We think that it is a very good way to know the country side of Canterbury Region! And maybe if you feel like participating in the farm there is a vegie garden where you can help him.
My sufer friend and I highly recomend spending a great time in Mark´s farm!
