ABOUT ME
I was born to be a
I'm an adventurous 27 year old Venezuelan girl with dreams bigger than words can describe, I have been living in the US for 9 years now, my whole family instill lives in Venezuela. I became independent very young which gave the opportunity to see life in a different way, with different eyes and made me who I am now, I like learning new things and I'm always eager for more and more. I'm very curios about life, atheist since I was 8yo, liberal, clever, sometimes very intriguing, courageous, open-minded and incredibly funny when I loosen up! I love and respect nature, I'm a peceterian and wine lover, I have a special passion for food, I love cooking and creating meals, I graduated from culinary school a couple of years ago, and pursuing my chef carrier, I specialize in Vegeterian, vegan and healthy food, also I'm very interested in holistic nutrition.

I'm a very easy going person, wiser beyond my years, I love music, dance to relive stress, Yoga to find inner peace and Photography to keep everlasting memories of moments that will never come back . If its in destiny for us to meet then I'm sure you'll find out a lot more about me.

Besides my passion for food, I'm also extremely passionate about traveling, I love to move places, see new cultures, learn new languages, discover food that I didn't know existed, find the most exiting people in their own way, after all we are all exotic somewhere. The only sad part of it is that if we are lucky enough we might get a little less than a century to brith and enjoy this beautiful and mysterious place called world.

"There is no foreign land. it is the traveller only who is foreign."

PHILOSOPHY

Carpe diem quam minimum credula postero, which can be translated as “pluck the day, trusting as little as possible in the next one.” but most important, face up to the fact that you are not going to live forever and realise that each day is a gift. Hamna shida!!!!

Love (unconditional love even to whom does not deserve it)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Ive been in the CS community since 2007, always have had great experiences. I like to help other travelers as much as I can, even when I can not host them I am more than willing to hang out with them and create unforgettable memories together while at the same time making new friendships to have an excuse to cross the continent to go visit them ;).

My experience with CS has been awesome, for the past 7 years a lot has happened through CS I got to know the best people there are in my life, I have changed others people;s life by introducing them to the idea of CouchSurfing, Im so glad it exist and that I found out about it when I just stared opening my eyes to real life! I have big expectations for the future and CS in my life!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In my travels I've seen places and meet tons of people but so far my memory keeps playing over and over a few pictures of me being in Volcano Vesuvius, the second most dangerous active volcano in the world, when I was on top of it I felt an incredible peaceful sensation and I felt fears go away, also taking a very small plane and flying over the Tepuy mountains in the Venezuelam Amazon overlooking the tallest waterfall in the world was an incredible experience. Biking trough Paris at 3am oh! what a lovely city!! getting a summer job in a remote town by the beach in Tuscany and having one of the most beautiful summers of my life, walking without directions trhough Montreal, getting lost and meeting amazing people! ... I'm sure better and more amazing thing are awaiting to happen for me...

Teach, Learn, Share

Moved out of my country when I was 18 with a suitcase and 200$, never looked back and I have accomplished a lot on my own, taking risks, failing, getting up, succeeding. Money doesn't get you places and won't buy your dreams.. have a goal, work hard, enjoy! ;)
