Hello, I'm Cristina Ines, please call me Ines. I'm from Ecuador and I live in Argentina. I'm very expressive; you'll always get a look of amazement and the utmost excitement from me for everything new. I adapt well to the rules of each place and aim to build relationships within an environment focused on respect and cordiality.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I opened my account many years ago, but I hadn't tried the Coachsurfing experience since I've usually always traveled with companions. However, I want to try the opportunity to travel alone and meet people and learn about the world of other humans.

Interests

I'm a fan of extreme sports, and my favorite among them is diving because it transports you to a completely different world. I love the contact with water and how it differs from our natural movements, such as walking or standing. While I enjoy snowboarding, I still find it challenging, but I'm in the process of improving. Anime and geek culture, in general, captivate me, but I consider anime to be my true passion. Additionally, I have an interest in photography and drawing. I may not be the best at them, but I find joy in the introspective moments that both art forms provide.

Music, Movies, and Books

Regarding music, my favorite genres are funk, electronic, R&B, and soul. My favorite musicians are Jungle and Jamiroquai. Although I actually enjoy a variety of music, I like to dance and listen to a wide range of genres in general. As for books, I enjoy reading general knowledge, essays, and novels. My favorite authors are Ernesto Sábato and Haruki Murakami. I love series, documentaries and movies. My favorite movie directors are: Christopher Nolan, Quentin Tarantino and Pedro Almodóvar.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think it's a somewhat personal question; I'd prefer to share it with someone over a cup of coffee.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've never taught anything, but if you're interested in learning about my experience and my world, I'll certainly be willing to share with you. I'm very open in my communication, and I have no taboos when it comes to discussing any topic, always within the framework of respect and cordiality.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I believe one of my favorite activities in the world is letting people get to know where I come from through food. I love sharing sweets, Ecuadorian chocolates, and Argentinian alfajores, which represent my two homelands—one where I was born and the other where I live and love.
