About Me

I really like music. I would definitely want you to recommend me some bands it'll be better if is music from your country (folk music). I like reading. I love biking. Hiking and long walkings are on my list of things that I like the most too.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One day someone told me about it and I found it very useful to get to know people and share cultural things such as language. It was my first impression and I started using it for that purpose, but after my first guests, I realize that there was more than that.
I think of CS as a tool that is showing that there's still kindness in people and maybe that you waste time by being shy.
Most of my guests are new in CS. I think it's important to give everyone an opportunity, but I don't like empty profiles. I like to know something about you before I bring you into my home and I always read profiles before accepting a request, because of that I think it's important that you read mine.

Interests

music, books, cicling, hanging out, hiking, long walks, talk about everything, languages, traveling of course

Movies: I like Tarantino's movies, I have a little niece and I used to go with her to the cinema, so I started liking some animated movies Nemo it's one of my favorites. When I was a teenager I watched some japaneese anime I can tell my favorite anime movie is Ghost In The Shell, but it's also hard to digest I watched hundred of times and everytime I understood something new. Also I really like Lars Von Trier's movies Dogville, Antichrist, Dancer In The Dark and Nyphomaniac are my favorites.
