Hi everbody, my name is Gabriela, from Guadalajara, México. I'm in CS it's travelling and meeting new people, fortunately along with these two, I'll get the chance to experience the language exchage, exploring and photographing new landscapes, learning and immersing in foreign cultures.

Other activities that I like doing are taking photos and editing them, surfing the web, reading or listening to blogs/vlogs in different languages, walking around the cities I visit, hiking, biking, drinking and hanging out with friends.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This will be my first time in Europe, and in Couchsurfing. I'm looking for a different way of traveling, not just another tourist taking photos of buildings. I would like to understand and appreciate the beauty of my next destinations by being present, meeting the locals, walk around neighborhoods, cities or places they recommend, and learn more from them. Start making new friends on my way around Europe, because my idea is to travel first around France, then around Europe.
