I am recent graduate of a Masters in Public Administration and International Development at the London School of Economics and Political Science. I hope to one day go back to my home country Ecuador and serve as an elected official and help serve those in poverty and need. For now, I like traveling, learning and growing. I'm also into social entrepreneurship and innovation :).

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

Musik, Filme und Bücher

I love to dance Latin music like Salsa and Bachata, but I also like all kinds of music and rhythms as long as they don't insult anyone :).
For movies, it depends, but I like comedies and drama, but if there is a good movie in other genres, I'll watch it as well!
More than anything, we love our series: Braking Bad, Game of Thrones, House of Cards, Scandal, Arrow, The Flash, Constantine, Gotham, The Big Bang Theory, Modern Family, among others :D.
I like reading, but I have so much to study that fiction is not in my list. I like reading international development books like The Great Escape or Poor Economics.
