CURRENT MISSION

Traveling, traveling, traveling. I'm working in the States and I want to discover as much as I can about this AMAZING country!

ABOUT ME

I am a very happy person, I love to talk to new people because I think you can always learn from somebody. I am very friendly, open-minded and laid back, even though I might be a little bit shy when you first meet me (which will be quickly solved as soon as we have a couple of beers). I think I have a very good sense of humor, and I love laughing. To me, life is the most amazing trip I will ever make, so I try to live my life the best I can. I have studied languages, because I think they are the only way to make humankind work, through understanding each other. I started traveling when I was pretty young, and once I started I wasn't able to stop; hopefully never will!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

The day will come when I stay in a place for a while, and then I will definitely welcome you to my couch! :) But get in touch with me if you need a guide or someone to hang out with!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The first time I couchsurfed it was a great experience. My friend and I went to Austin, and our host showed us the city, hang out with us all weekend and even invited us to his party with all his friends! :)

- New Orleans (3 nights): and one of the best house parties of my life!
- Bern (2 nights): Reitschule + terrace with great host and roomates!
- Campival (Switzerland): tried a new modality: tentsurfing, a really good experience.

I have also been pretty active in the CS Groups of Geneva, San Francisco and looking forward to meet CSers in Austin!

-Nashville: three days with our amazing host Damian, his great friends, lots of country music and fried chicken!

Interests

I love reading, learning and traveling. I particularly enjoy doing all of them at the same time if possible. Then, I guess what I like the most is going out and random nights. I also love telling stories, making fun of everyday things and playing sports, especially tennis!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- The silence of the Grand Canyon and the desert of New Mexico and Arizona.
- Nature, in every way.
- Teaching one of my students how to read and write. No words can describe how it feels, and how rewarding it is.
