Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Enjoy moments in life more...by travelling. Learn to be present, which is easier during a trip. For me, confort, trusting CS members and some planning are essential for that.
ABOUT ME
Life is about having a good time. I think that knowing new people can be an exchange of experiences, of ways of enjoying life that makes you rich. I am willing to learn with locals and with fellow travellers.
I am passionate about folklore and languages. If you teach me some sentences in our language, I will be the happiest girl. It is very interesting for me when I just discover some music that I had not heard before.
I lived in Moscow for four years, Ireland for three years and less than a year in Croatia, Germany and Ecuador. Now I need comfort and I'm settled and enjoy two month trips.
PHILOSOPHY
If we learn we respect easier. The world is our school, people are the best teachers. Learn to be better.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Maybe I can host you and show you the old town. I can also help you organise your trip. I can share with you stories from places afar. I can also give you a hand with languages.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Sometimes I have felt such a connection with my CS hosts or guests! That's the magic of couchsurfing and travelling. I felt comfortable, I felt I had known them before. We were like besties for a couple of days. Incredible. Places are much more special when a local friend shows you their places.

Music, Movies, and Books
Music - The conservatory gave me the gift of appreciating almost any kind of music. I am interested in any music that you would like to show me. I usually listen to English language music during winter, ethnical music during spring time or when I cook, always classical music, latin music... everything.
Movies - Good bye Lenin. Cidade de Deus. Diarios de motocicleta. Water-Fire-Earth. Babel. Tsotsi. Palestine now. Amelie. Foreign culture movies. Wild. Desert, mountain, sea.
Books: Noam Chomsky, Eduardo Galeano (las venas abiertas de América Latina), landscape genre, novels written by women...
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Russians tought me how nice it can be sharing a cup of warm tea, showing and seeing one's photos and chatting. Four years in the Russian giant and I survived!
In the Sahara desert I played the flute and children sang. They taught me so much!
In Rajastan, India I spend one whole day in a shop. The shopkeeper, an honest seller from Kashmir taught me as much as I could learn about pashmina wool, shawls, life...
I taught some language lessons to children in Africa and my students improvised a dancing party for me outside my bedroom.
The Irish are the kindest strangers ever. Three years living in Ireland account for that.
No, I haven´t slept in a monk monastery in Burma or Laos, not yet.
Teach, Learn, Share
Arts made me be interested in the expression of individuality. These sensations you can have or express and not anyone else. I draw sensations but people think they're illustrations for children's books. I play the flute. I express myself through dancing.
What I Can Share with Hosts
Stories. Music. The moment. Spanish lessons.
