Overview
About Me
I’m 29 and study law. I love to meet surfers visiting my city from around the world, show them around, and make them have a good time!
Couchsurfing for me is not about expectations with your guests or your hosts. It shouldn't be done because you expect something in return. You should do it because you genuinely want to meet someone, have a good time, good manners and respect each other's boundaries.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I want to meet people, make friends around the world and immerse myself in different cultures. Meeting locals is a great way to make friends, experience a country, learn, grow and have fun!
I'm always eager to learn new languages and different world views by exchanging with locals. I want to share my culture and languages with the people I encounter, make friends and memories for life!
If you would like to stay with me, please include in your request anything from my profile you like so I know it wasn't copy and paste and that you read my profile.
Interests
I am passionate about traveling, I enjoy every second of it and I think that is what made my horizons so broad and my mind so open to the world... I think traveling is the greatest learning experience of all and can help you in so many areas of life.
Otherwise I enjoy fitness, food, languages, history, the beach/ocean, museums, hiking, exploring new places, restaurants, biking, parks, parties, walking around, going for drinks/coffee, reading, and many more things. I love to learn about anything.

Teach, Learn, Share
PLEASE NOTE: I do not host any locals for any reason, I host travelers only.
Generally speaking, I prefer not to host people that are coming for business or job interviews; for me, that is not what CouchSurfing is about. I have a roommate and prefer to host for shorter periods.
What I Can Share with Hosts
Friendship first and foremost! Great company and great discussions about pretty much anything! I can cook for you, help you if you need something in any way. I love to get busy when traveling and do many activities, and I am always open to try something new! I speak several languages so it would be a pleasure for me to help you out with English, Spanish, or French. I can offer you my hospitality when you visit me in my city.
