Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Eat the world! Go around the world trying everything (well maybe not everything haha)
ABOUT ME
What can I say about me? I absolutely love dancing. It's my passion (the funny thing is only just discovered it) . I love food and reading, traveling and singing (although my voice is not that great haha). I only just graduated from my MSc, and I am hungry for getting to know different places, learning new languages, trying new food, and mostly getting to know myself.
PHILOSOPHY
Carpe diem, definitely, and always be happy. I think life is too short to linger on sad thoughts. We all have our ups and downs but the important thing is to get up with a smile on your face.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
My first time Couchsurfing was amazing. The thing I liked the most about Couchsurfing is that you get to meet new people, and usually these people are more than willing to show you the places that only a local person could show you and that, as a tourist, you would never visit. This makes the experience even more interesting.
I have hosted a few people now and I find it extremely rewarding. It's always nice to be able to help people selflessly. Plus I get to meet awesome people from all around the world. So far, so good (great!)! Because of my work I don't have too much time to hang out with my guests, but I try my best to make their stay as nice and warm as possible :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
The most amazing (and difficult) thing I did was to climb (and get to the top!) the Cotopaxi (in Ecuador) which is the tallest active volcano in the world (5897 m.a.s.l.). Another amazing experience I've had is scuba diving in one of the beaches here in Ecuador. My next mission: scuba diving in the Galapagos!
