About Me

Even living in a cold country I try to stay positive and open minded ;) I love sun, Latin America, urban (not only) art, dancing (this form of expression just makes me happy), laughing (sense of humor makes life better), living abroad, learning, new experiences (that's a kind of addiction I guess), walking, forest, beach (ocean), mountains, potatos, avocados... Can't stop travelling!
I also travel for a living which is very exciting and for sure changed the way I see the world. The side effect is I'm almost never home (and usually hard to tell when I will be)...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To get a feeling of being in a place, meet people instead of seeing the monuments . I'm still new here so another reason is to try new.

Nature, sports, dancing, reading (or being read to), arts, world, life... Actually could go on and on...

Music, Movies, and Books

- world music of various genres (mostly Latin America, Brazil, Mali), jazz, classic. Depends whether I'm up to dancing or relaxing. My recent discovery: Luedji Luna
- Being there, Breakfast at Tiffany, Dogtooth, Lobster, most films of Polanski, Bareja, Allen... From the recently seen 3 billboards ouside Ebbing
- There is always something waiting for me to be read for the first time so I rarely come back to books I've already read. Anyway, among my favourites are: Siddhartha, Lost Horizon, Master and Margarita, Like water for chocolate, Szymborska, Kapuściński... Well, but I read mostly books on history and cultures of the world (and enjoy!)
