About Me
CURRENT MISSION
See the world with my eyes wide open!
ABOUT ME
I am a curious person that enjoys traveling and being in touch with people from different cultures. My father has been working in an airline since I was a little girl, so I am used to travel and this is actually a way of life to me. I consider myself an open minded person and in constant development. I think there is a basic essence in all of us that let us understand each other, and that is more powerful than differences we may have. I believe that after sharing a cultural interchange both parts come out transformed, with something new that make us better. I am an idealistic person that still believes that together we can do EVERYTHING.
PHILOSOPHY
I try to be connected to my inner self, to pay attention to what I really want and to be as authentic as possible. Also I am always trying to learn from experience and most of all from the people that I have next to me, even if they are in my way only for a while.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I participated in CS project for two years. It was an incredible experience! I hosted many travelers and also surfed coaches all around the world. I also attended to CS meeting in my country and in other places as well. It is amazing that so many people in different parts of the world open their houses and lives to somebody they do not know. This is trusting in people and it is the most incredible part of this project.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
