Hello there!
I'm one of the many Venezuelans living in DR. I move here almost 6 years ago and I'm loving it. I don't have a couch actually, but if you are ok with some pillows and a roof over your head I'm here for you.
I'm an audiovisual producer, very passionate about it, actually. I don't have like a normal life program but I really love to share experience and learn about others, get to know them and their travel in life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I firmly believe that traveling is the most exciting way to connect to people. Even if you are far from home you can feel like you belong, so I think Couchsurfing just offer that. I never had the pleasure to host anyone but when I was in Venezuela one of my dearest friends did it constantly so I have the opportunity to share with such amazing people, show them around, share some food, stories and laughs. It's just like a priceless experience.
Update: I couchsurf for the first time ever while in Spain last year and it was great! I'm so happy about this community and also all the amazing people I had the pleasure to meet while hangout was available during my trip, 100% sure it was just part of the best memories I have now.

Interests

I love to cook, much more if it is for others. Cinema, music, books, outdoors (sometimes), love to share a good laugh and most recently I like to scuba dive.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music:
You know when people say that they like all type of music? Well, they are lying. I been stuck on the same type music since like I'm 20. I mean, I can listen any type of music and I'm gladly surprise when people share new beats with me but usually I go with the same old one playlist forever just adding one new song here and there, and that really means that I like it. So yeah, you can go from a Jorge Drexler's song to a Miyavi's string solo in a blink with me.
Note aside, I'm in my portuguese phase now so I enjoy a lot of bossa and singers/bands like Natiruts, Paulinho Moska, João Gilberto... you get the idea

Movies:
Well, it's funny that I work making movies but what I mostly consume is Anime tbh. The important thing for me it's that the characters have the opportunity to develop (and the japoneses animators do that soooo well - Trust me, you need anime *good anime* in your life-).
With that said I can think in 3 movies that really change me in a way:
Big fish - Tim Burton
Parasite - Bong Joon-ho
In the mood for love - Wong Kar-wai

Books:
I think that I used to read much more when I was a kid than now, but I'm still trying at least to go 3 books a year. And I just discovered how amazing audiobooks are so at least for this year I hit the goal earlier. Of course I come from the Potterhead generation so everything that slightly involves magic and adventure I take it from the library's shelve without blinking. Gabriel Garcia Marquez and Isabel Allende are in between my favorites authors, but hey, magic realism is just like Harry Potter but going dark (please don't kill me, it's was a joke... was it?)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well, my jobs has lead me to some amazing experiences, like a secret door to how the magic in movies happen, have you ever see rain or fire in a movie you like? You would be astonish on how that works.
I had the opportunity to be a tour guide in Caracas just because I was so obsessed with the city and all the history around it that people believed I really could made a living on it
I'm a plant lady, so to have the opportunity to grow some plants for me is just great.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm like the weird girl in every group that just knows a lot of random stuff, so if you are up for the conversation I'm sure we can get a lot of things to talk about.
I can talk about movies (and anime) for hours and all the little details that sometimes people don't know about how they did it (good thing about working on the film industry).
I loooooove to cook, so if you have a new recipe that want to show me I'm all in.

I just think you can learn so much about people if you have your heart open for the challenge.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook and have weird-intense-fun conversations and making fool of myself for your enjoyment, also I can show you the city around and lead you to cool spots if you want to get something to drink (it doesn't have to be beer btw, here we love the strawberry juice too).
