Hello! My name is Ashley Attar. I'm 24 years old and I'm traveling around Latin America because I love the different cultures and I desperately want to be fluent in Spanish.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I decided to join couch surfing because when I travel abroad I like to get to know the people of the place. I want to know and understand their culture and their language. It's easier to do this with the locals as opposed to hot spot tourist destinations.

Intereses

I'm an art appreciator all the way. I like to dabble to crafts, but would not call myself an artist. I like to talk politics, but with a much more theoretical approach. I enjoy dancing, and listening to music, theatre, being on stage, and underground culture. Subcultures fascinate me and I like writing about them.

Música, películas y libros

I love all music. Especially electronic music, but chill electronic. The XX, old school hip-hop and R&B.

I love Robert Altman movies and just about anything indie and artsy. What can I say I am a romantic! I'm not going to list movies because there are too many!

I like to read underground zines and good books that people pass along the way. Short stories and historical fictions!

Algo increíble que he hecho

I've travelled around Latin America and have met some amazing people. My life has been full of rich experiences and if I died today I would die a very happy person!

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I really want this experience to be one full of Spanish speaking!

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

I can cook you good meals and provide you with good company and conversation. And any time you find yourself passing through Detroit you will have a friend, a place to stay, and someone to show you around!
