Hi! My name is Cecilia and I am 32 years old.

I am fortunate to have "Traveller parents" who have taught me (And my siblings) to love meeting new people, visiting all kind of countries, learning about different cultures and enjoying diversity.

For that reason I have always tried to travel as much as possible. And I am very lucky as I have been able to travel around South and North America, Europe and Africa.

Asia was a pending issue for me so this year I have finally decided to take a long trip (six months) through Southeast Asia. I am also travelling alone.

It was a difficult decision as I had fought against myself, my idea of responsability, my fears and definitely left my comfort zone. But, after much considering, I have realized that it is now or never.
It might sound as a cliché, but we only live once! :)

What else can I say about myself?
I have a degree on Public Relations and I have finished university on 2011.
I love playing football (In Argentina: fútbol), I´m a goalkeeper and I belong to an amateur girls team called "Potrancas" (We have recently won the third place on a tournament, and we are now trying to win the first place).
I play drums as a hobby, I have been taking classes for many years (Don´t worry, I won´t play drums at your house!).
And, of course, I love to travel!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Actually, I have heard about it through my brother, who has used it to travel around and also received visitors at his home.

As I have mentioned before, I´m about to travel (On November, 2016) to Southeast Asia and I thought it could be a great experience to try CS.

I believe that there is no better way to know a place and its characteristics than knowing its people. That´s why I would like to seize this opportunity to surround myself with local people and an environment that deepens and increases my knowledge about the countries I´ll visit and their cultures.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like all kinds of music, specially the classics: Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Beatles, The Ramones, Queen, Janis Joplin...
And many other bands, such as: U2, Deep Purple, Depeche Mode, Metallica, Nirvana, Radiohead, Soda Stereo, Guns ´n´ Roses, Pulp, Morphine...and it goes on and on...
I also like 80´s music.

I love reading and I can say, without a single doubt, that the best book I have ever read is "The name of the rose" from Umberto Eco ("El nombre de la rosa").
If you haven´t , you should read it. I highly recommend it!
Right now I´m reading the books from "Game of Thrones". I know, it´s not very profound! But I love the TV show and I wanted to check them out.

I do love movies and suspense is definitely my genre.
I enjoy many film directors and one of my favourites is Tarantino.
