I'm Mariela 😊 a granddaughter, daughter, sister, friend, lover of animals, nature and sports.
A cheerful person who likes to make people laugh, open-minded and enthusiastic about meeting new friends and learning about other cultures and new things.

I consider myself an unconditional friend, no matter what country you are in 😊

Philosophy:
"The world is too big not to explore it."
"Make things happen."
"Enjoy the little things"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I know what it feels like to be in a country that is not yours without knowing anyone and needing a friendly face and support, I believe that couchsourfing helps you find that friend you need in those moments of fear, that friend that with a small act of humanity stays in your heart forever.
