Hello :) My name is Gabriela Pineda and i'm currently a master student in Riga, Latvia. I come from Honduras (Central America) and i'll be probably staying here for the next two years until I complete my studies.

My personal qualities... well i'm a very outgoing person. Talkative, friendly, dynamic. Love taking risks and facing new challenges.

My life motto is "Live life to the fullest, no regrets". I want to make the most of every moment cause you only live once and i want to enjoy everything life has to offer. Definitely don't believe in "what if's" so i never leave myself with the doubt.

At this moment i'm just starting this new adventure across the world and want to fulfill my travelling bucket list. It's my first time in Europe so i want to travel as much as i can, get to know new people and culture in every country.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Well, i want to experience Europe in a different way, not just regular travelling. Besides sightseeing and all you do when you travel, i hope i get the chance to meet new acquaintances in every place I visit and share experiences and culture.

Interests

I have many. Like I said, i'm a very dynamic person so i'm always up to something. I really love spending time with friends (meeting new people as well), whether it is partying or going out for a calm drink. Also enjoy delicious meals, coffee, desserts, movies, etc.

I also like doing some things by myself. Enjoy reading a good book, listening to music, talking a walk, and i'm really really into art (used to paint a few years back).

Music, Movies, and Books

When it concerns music, i can't really define what i'm into because it really depends on my mood. I listen to all kinds of things, pretty much everything. With movies it is kind of similar, i do enjoy watching new releases to have my own opinion on it but I won't deny that i do have a favorite movie... classic: Titanic. I could watch it over and over again, and every time i'll love it even more. With books, i like to read best sellers. I like romantic novels and also thrillers. John Grisham is one of my favorite authors.
