Overview
About Me
I love travelling (obviously, who doesn't :-)), taking my time to discover places without rush, watching streets, walking in forests, eating at markets. Big mountains truly amaze me which I discovered recently and now can't wait to have another chance at climbing them.
I'm also passionate about research, volunteering (in my home country I worked for 10 years for an NGO doing environmental education) and love dancing.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books
Very difficult to pick a few, therefore instead of all-time-favourites, these are what I liked recently:
Books: David Nicholls: A question of attraction, Gabriel Garcia Marquez: Hundred years of solitude
Movies: Captain Fantastic, Passengers
Music: Herencia de timbiqui
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Recently I did the 8-day Huayhuash trek in Huaraz, Peru. Hiking and camping through fantastic landscapes, reaching some 5000m+ passes and peaks, I felt really happy there, I'd go back and do it again any time!
Even better: quitting my job to make my dream come true and travel for an extended period of time
What I Can Share with Hosts
Fun conversations (I'm curious about nearly anything! :-)), meals if you'd like, being a tidy person
