About Me

ABOUT ME

I can say that I'm a quiet person, but with a lot of energy, curious about the world and the peolpe that sorrounds me.
I find great interest in language and speech, I think they are powerful tools and used in the right way can bring a lot of benefits to people. I think language is one way to get to know a culture, a society and I would to learn as many different languages as I can, so far Im fluent in English, and I started with french but I only know few words.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The greatest thing about travelling is the people you meet along the way, I think that's the most important thing that you get to experience. The joy of travelling is in the joy of others.

Interests

Reading, drawing, I also history and known little facts about random things, I enjoy cooking, prepare meals for my family and friends.
I'm studing filmmaking, and I want to become a cinematographer. I think the cinematographer is like a painter, frame the subject/s , choose the correct lightning and most important try to reflect the atmosphere of the scene with all of the above.
I like linguistics, I find great interest in countries with dialects of the same language like Spain, or countries with different languages like Canada and how
that affects the society of the country.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I took a one-way flight to New Zealand in 2014 and spent 15 months travelling and working all over the country, meeting people from all over the world and making good friends along the road.
When I was living in the South Island I attempt to ride 500km by bicycle, unfortunetly I only rode half the distance, but it was a really nice experience, the feeling of being just you and the road is amazing.
While in Tokyo I did karaoke with my brother and a friend at the same place of Lost in Translation, it was the first time I sing karaoke and I enjoy it a lot, it wasnt easy to find the exact place, we walk through Shibuya trying to find the building, and after half an hour we got to the place.

Teach, Learn, Share

We are always learning new things everyday, we learn from others people lives, experiences, and I try to share what I have learn with others.
I like to meet people with different points of view, I think that way you can learn so much, and maybe you wont agree with most of them , but you always get something out of it.
