My name is Cristina, but people know me as Cris (or Kais) ^^

I'm a Spanish girl who has studied Spanish philology and loves languages. I have been working as a Spanish teacher and I loved it! I'd love to improve my level of English and Italian, and to meet new people and places as well!

I'm very shy at first (my friends don't believe me when I say that hahaha), but I quickly feel at ease when I meet new people and I'm very open-minded and easy-going. I'm normally calm and also friendly with people around me ^^ Referring to cohabitation I'm polite, tidy and clean.✨

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm new using Coachsurfing and, honestly, I didn't feel sure about it, but my really close friend (Ann007) was always explaining her experiences with CS to me and all of them were really nice :D So I make the decision to leave my comfort zone and meet new places, people, cultures, languages... by using CS!

I think it's a good way to meet the places through the people because it makes them more special and interesting :)

Interests

I really like spending time with my family or with some friends, talking about life and enjoying a delicious meal ^^ (I'm a food lover! 🍙🍝🍕) I love eating new things and also trying to cook everything I can! I like writing, drawing and painting (all creative stuff). I also enjoy going to museums, theathre and cinema, but sometimes it's more expensive that I would like it to be. I like playing video games, watching films and anime as well. Oh, and I love cats! 😺 Them make life more beautiful.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Maybe it isn't something weird or surprising, but in my opinion, being a teacher is one of the most amazing things I've ever done! When your students show how they want to learn and their gratitude, you realize that being a teacher is something special :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you Spanish and Catalan! I have professional experience with that and we can also practice talking if you want :) If you need it too, I can correct your essays or writing tasks! Obviously, I can teach you anything else that I know and you don't and share moments and experiences :)

I want to learn as mush as possible... languages, culture, history, etc. ^^ And to meet new people as well!
