About Me

Hi! I am a person still trying to find her place in life. And, since there is no better way of doing it than travelling and meeting new people, that is what I try to do.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The more people you meet, the more perspectives about life you discover and the wider your horizon gets. I also think a trip is not complete if you don't get to know the people of the places you visit. Plus, sticking to a travel guide or to the tips you can find on the Internet about the customs and secrets of a city, is not near as interesting and fun as getting to know them through the eyes of its locals.

Interests

I love reading, watching movies, going to the theatre and drinking wine while sharing a good conversation in good company and a nice atmosphere. I also love parting and dancing, so I am usually up to a crazy night in a nice club. I am also learning juggling at the moment :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I honestly cannot choose just one movie or book, but I can tell you what keeps me busy lately, and that is Eduardo Galeano's books and Almodóvar's movies. Regarding music, I enjoy dancing on electronic tunes but I also love latin bands and arabic music.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When i was 11 I saved my cousin from a crazy neighbour who got incredibly angry at us cause we threw an egg to his door on the Halloween night (he didn't want to give us any candy) :S

Teach, Learn, Share

I can cook! Spanish food and some arabic dishes. I can also share my language skills and the few juggling tricks I know. Apart from that, I am always happy to answer any questions about what I have learned in life so far :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love learning! Teaching is also my job and my passion so feel free to ask me about that word you always wanted to learn in Spanish (or German, Italian and maybe Arabic).

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, Croatia, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Kosovo, Montenegro, Portugal, Tunisia, United Kingdom, United States
