Overview
About Me
I'm 26 years old, a 5 year old Rotaract. I'm also a One Young World Ambassador. (2014 Dublin). I used to work for a Children's Hospital in the procurement area, now I work as a Finance and HR assistant for Doctor's Without Boarders.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Traveling solo I have learn:
Hotels are weird when being alone, it makes you feel alone and it's hard to meet people.
Hostels: sharing a room with 8 people is great, sharing the bathroom with them...not so cool. I'm a clean traveler, I like to take showers 1-2 times a day, it's very common practice in my country, so a clean bathroom is a must.
AirBnB: Yeah, you "share" a room or a house with your guest, but I haven't really share experiences, a meal or even a nice long talk, I kinda felt like I was on a Hotel, which is not ok.
I would like to spend time in your City, get to know your culture, know your habits, your background and share my life.
Interests
I love Red Wine and Food, specially salads, pastas and new flavors. I love solo traveling, this way I meet more people and spend time with locals. I love to binge watch series @ Netflix. I'm quite a History/Politics Nerd, but I'm getting rusty in those topics.

Music, Movies, and Books
Music: I'm kinda weird in music, I like my songs in English, you would have to listen to my playlist to understand me.
Books: I'm into reading, but lately I haven't done much, my days are bit packed and full of actives, so very few hours to catch on reading.
Movies: Any spy, space or fantasy movie, I'm bad with movie names, But I do enjoy watching movies.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share
Teach: I can teach you Spanish and my culture. If there are the needed ingredients, I would love to cook for you a traditional dish.
Learn: I would love to learn about your culture, political situation, history of your city, your work. If you know how to cook, I'll love to help and learn your cuisine.
Share: I'm a honest and open book, ask and ye shall get answers.
