Sawasdee kha :)

I'm Irina, 29 years old, currently living and enjoying the beautiful city of Chiang Mai since almost 2,5 years. I was born in Corrientes/Argentina, where I lived until I was six. Then we moved with my family to Germany, where I lived for around 19 years. My mum is Argentinian and my dad is German. I have one older brother, he is living in Germany.

I love music, tennis, skiing, horse riding, volleyball, watching football, traveling, going out, meeting new people for good and/or stupid conversations,

I live with my good friend Stefanie in a house in Chiang Mai. We don't live in the city area, but also not too far, by taxi/songteaw/motorbike it is around 20 minutes away. The area is called Mu ban Wantan, if you want to google it.

We work from Monday - Friday in the afternoon/evening hours, but of course you can stay in the house, enjoy our big garden, the house. There is also a swimming pool and some tennis courts very close and cheap.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to meet new people and I've been surfing around Asia a lot and I loved it. Also I enjoy hearing different stories, learn new things and share what I can and know.

Interests

I really love watching football, the atmosphere inside and outside the stadiums, the passion, emotions, friendships, to get to know different cultures in one place and a lot more.
My team is Borussia Dortmund though and I sympathize FC Barcelona.

I also like to travel, to get to know as many places as possible. Here in Chiang Mai, on the weekends, we just take our bikes and drive around the mountains, the city or get to know new villages around this area.

I'm interested in a lot of things.. even more in things I've never heard about before

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have been to the Football World Cup in Russia and it was the best experience I have made so far. Qatar 2022 is already waiting for me.

Met some Argentinian football players, touched Lionel Messis breast

Wasn't allowed to enter Russia anymore, where I left my backpack, but the universe made my backpack arrive to Chiang Mai safe.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you Argentinian curse words and how to prepare a proper mate o fernet con coca

I want to learn to play the guitar and the drums
