I'm always so dry at this stuff hahaha

Well... I'm a college student (wow so unique right)

Most people my age prefer parties over politics but I can't lie...I might prefer talking about politics. But still, who can turn down a good party? My interests (I'm not even going to mention the obvious one) include writing (painting but with words), hiking, food (yes this is a legit interest), music, photography and other things I can't seem to remember (guess they're not interests lol)

I can also honestly say that I love mountains, they are just beautiful. I think that's why Switzerland is my favorite country in the world, buut there are plenty of countries with mountains that I haven't seen yet, so nothing is settled!

Like I said, I'm dry (a nice way of saying to myself that I suck) at writing 'About Me' stuff haha so if you'd like to get to know me better, we'll just have to have a conversation (Ik it's 2017 and talking to people is like 'ehh better not lol' but trust me it's not that bad)

*Also, the reason I don't host people is because I don't have a fixed location to make that possible. I pledge that at some point in the future I will host surfers. Oh, and couchsurfers too. I guess.

**Para los hablantes nativos de espan~ol, dejame ser el primero para decirte que soy bien gringo jajaja pero oiga, Colombianos y Dominicanos - hagan ruidooo!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

So why am I here? Well, first I want to say that I'm still pretty new to CS, buuut before I joined the community, I started doing a bit of my own traveling and then one day (as I'm sure it happened to you, yes YOU reading this) I was infected...I'm sorry, this is difficult for me to talk about...yes, I became infected with an incurable disease. I started to get the symptoms when it was too late. I started getting a little distracted in my studies, every time I saw open roads I grew anxious, etc. I knew I had to get it checked out...so when I consulted the all-knowing google I learned what I suspected all along, I got the travel bug. Since then, I've read stories and books (travelers, please note: you have to read Tomislav Perko!!) about traveling and I've taken every opportunity I can to get out there and explore.
