About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Living, loving, listening to great and less great music, hanging out with friends

ABOUT ME

I have recently started my Master "Crossways in Cultural Narratives", a challenging programme where we study in 3 different universities. At the moment I am studying (my first semester) in Parana, Argentina.
I'm fascinated by languages since I was young.

Some of the things I love:
art, coffee, music, sushi, tiramisu, warm colours, warm people, the sun & lovely weather (Holland might not be the place for me ;)), hiking, filosophy, good conversations with friends about life, love, thingsthatreallymatter, flamenco, cheese, cooking with friends, reading literature and/or poetry, writing, etc etc etc.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm convinced that things in life happen for a reason, plain 'coincidence' doesn't really exist in my opinion. I don't have a complete frame of ideas of why we are here on earth, but I do believe that every person has got something specific to learn or develop in this life. You'll meet the right people at the right time in your life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am very open to get to know new people through CS.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Mostly meeting CS-ers to have a coffee/a drink with. I have not yet surfed someone's couch while traveling, but most certainly hope to do so in the future.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Walking Camino de Santiago from Le Puy-en Velay (France) to Santiago de Compostela (Spain).

Teach, Learn, Share

Food / drinks, I can show you my favourite spots around town to enjoy good coffee and good, home-made, organic food.

I like to see more of my country too, so if you like to do tourism together I'm up for that too!

I love languages, learning them, teaching them, helping others, so if you are interested to know more about Dutch language or want to practice it with me, you're more than welcome to contact me.
(not exclusively if you want to learn sth about the dutch language, since I also really like to practice the languages I have learned - Spanish, English, French)
