Hi there! I'm Jessica and travelling is by far one of my favourite things to do. I love meeting new people, seeing new places and engaging with different cultures.
I was born and raised in Buenos Aires but both my parents are Taiwanese.
I'm currently studying Architecture in the States and I'm loving it!
I'm often described as a very cheerful person. I enjoy both casual chats as well as deep talks. I can probably talk about anything and everything.
I love the environment and all its living organisms, which leads me to the next thing. I'm a pescatarian (mostly due to social reasons and out of convenience) but I enjoy cooking vegan meals whenever possible!
I'm a huge baking addict, I probably bake more than I should but there's nothing better than seeing people enjoy my creations :)
I love art in all its forms and another hobby of mine is painting.
Although I enjoy the hustle and bustle of the city, I'm fascinated by natural landscapes and look forward to being "immersed in nature".

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've always loved travelling; there is something unique about it and I believe that each new travel experience has a significant impact in your life and perspective. That being said, there is no better way to get to know a place than by living with a local!
I'm familiar with two very different cultures (Taiwanese and Argentine), so being able to experience new ones and share mine is something I really enjoy.
I first couch-surfed with my sister and it was amazing, so here I am with my own profile. Couchsurfing is fun and exciting and you never know what new thing you'll learn/see/share through it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Backpacked in Patagonia for 2 weeks (Caught the stomach flu in the middle of the trip but recovered fast enough to only miss one day!)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach some piano tunes, baking, languages...
I love learning new things, so I'm up for anything new and exciting!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would love to share life experiences and anecdotes, baking recipes, music I enjoy, art and just about anything :)
I'm extremely grateful anybody would open their home to me, so I try to help out as much as I can and I make sure to leave the place exactly as I found it.
