About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Eat, pray, and love.
Enjoy the view from here. Life is hard, but with the right people and in the right places, it's absolutely beautiful.

ABOUT ME

Hello there! I'm a hard-working, fun, funny Venezuelan woman.I have tons of friends all over the world, I went on exchange with Rotary to taiwan in 2006 and that was the best experience ever. After that I've been to Europe, Mexico, some caribbean Islands and so on.. I just can´t seem to stop! I moved to Krakow 6 years ago. I had for awhile forgotten about this great community and figured I could catch up on my next trips and activities in town.

PHILOSOPHY

never ever believe in stereotypes; you have to get to know people, believe, listen! and you will see how amazing anyone can be! I also believe in second chances, and try not to judge because you never know if I would ever be in the same situation.
I'm always smily and happy and have many friends because of that..
I want to learn as much as I can from people, places and my friends and family!!!! =) that's all I can think of for now . .

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

While I was in Europe I met some backpackers who told me about this organization. I also know a couple of friends who have been hosting and hosted using this service. They all said it was amazing. I haven't experienced in full yet though.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have never stayed at a stranger's home.. that makes me a little bit nervous ? maybe ? hahaha
but I'm willing to try it, and also to meet new ppl who come to my city...
I've always said that the best way to know the real culture and the real escence of a place is to experience it with a local..

Music, Movies, and Books

This has always been a hard question! I love music as the universal laguage it is, and I enjoy it as much as I can! I love romantic songs in English and Spanish, Hip hop, reggaton, salsa and merengue to dance! reggae if I want to get into a beach mode and I also like rock! specially while driving..
Movies? I love love comedies, Sci-Fi, horror and action movies!!* I don't enjoy drama that much, not in movies, not in real life.
Books? I simply love Harry Potter!
have read some books (almost all of them in Spanish, unfortunately) from Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Paulo Coelho, Rómulo gallegos, all latin famous authors.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
