About Me

I'm a girl with a lot of interests, I love art, especially Photography (my passion) and history of art, languages (I'm learning some, I wanna learn a lot more and I always try to pick up something when I'm abroad), nature (to recharge my bateries), modeling (as in building tiny things), surf, eat, I really love food, traveling and meeting different people from different backgrounds and share stories (I also love writing). I have an urge to go and explore, to live in other countries. I follow my guts and go with the flow.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The idea amazes me, it's a much more interesting way of meeting people from the places I'm visiting, who can show me the secrets about their hometowns and with whom I can share stories, which is the main reason why I'm traveling :D

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Rock mostly, both the old (70's, 80's, 90's) and new (favourite bands: My Chemical Romance and Linkin Park, but also Limp Bizkit, Crazy Town, Green Day, Good Charlote, 30 Seconds to Mars, OneRepublic, Sum 41, Simple Plan, Hollywood Undead, Pendulum, Tribal Ink, Adam Lambert, Fort Minor, Eminem, Cris Cab, Foster The People, Imagine Dragons, Bastille, Saltatio Mortis, You Me At Six, Yellow Card, Avenged Sevenfold...).
I also like Latin Music, Classical or Immediate Music to study, Pop, and the entire Into The Wild soundtrack :)

TV Series: The Following, Wayward Pines, Westworld, 100 Code, The Fall, Black Mirror, Mr. Robot, Stranger Things, How I Met Your Mother, Lost, Flashforward, Heores, Sense8, The Pillars of the Earth (also the books), Terra Nova, Hawaii 5-0, NCIS:LA, CSI:NY, Modern Family, The Middle...

Movies: Into the Wild, 3 Idiots, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, Memento, Fight Club, The Grand Budapest Hotel, Shutter Island, Butterfly Effect, Requiem for a Dream, Inception, Slumdog Millionaire, Catch Me if You Can, Call Me By Your Name, just to name a few... I love a movie with a life changing experience but I'm also up for a sunday afternoon kind of movie.

Books: I devour books and don't take me to a bookstore unless you want me to disappear for a few hours ;) It's hard for me to pick a favourite author or book but nothing can change what I feel when I read Harry Potter :D I also love all kinds of fantasy middle-ages series (The Name of the Wind, The Wheel of Time, A Song of Ice and Fire...) and more character developing kind of books such as any of Isabel Allende's or Paulo Coelho's books. We Need to Talk About Kevin is still one of the best, and more disturbing, books I've read (along with any Stephen King's) and since I'm learning Mandarin (and working with chinese people) I'm also interested in all the books from Jung Chang, who can describe really well the past of China.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Creating a whole world for a fantasy book series I'm writing (still a work in progress) :P

Teach, Learn, Share

I've realized that you never know what you can teach to someone,
I learn all I can from every person I meet (and situations I find myself in), all of us have something uniquely from our own,
I like to share the way I see the world, maybe there's a soulmate our there... :)
