About Me

I love travelling, meeting new people completely different from me, including from different cultures.
I'm kind, outgoing, but also polite and a little bit a quiet sometimes.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I lived for a year in Germany and was hosted by local families. I had a great experience and got convinced that is this is the best way to really get to know the culture of the place I'm visiting.
Nevertheless, I've never done couchsurfing before so I'm really anxious to try this new way of travelling!

Interests

Food!! (any kind)
Outdoor activities such as trekking, cycling, horse riding.. among others (though I'm not a sporty kind of person at all). I like Yoga Too!
I like to read books, most of all novels with historical backgrounds, and I listen to all kind of music as well.
While travelling I used to visit as much places as possible, including main museums, historical buildings, and local outdoor markets. Nowadays I like to relax a little bit more, enjoy the company and the place im visiting.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I really like a little bit of everything! From salsa/cumbia to metal rock. It depends on the moment!

Books: A book I loved and read a couple of times was"My plant of Orange-Lime", from José Mauro de Vasconcelos. I also like a lot short stories from Mario Benedetti ,Julio and novels from Mario Vargas LLosa.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It's so difficult to pick just one while I'm remmembering!, so here are a few:

- Watching the sunrise in Capadoccia, Turkey, with more than 100 luftballons taking off at the same time.
- Eurotrip during a month in a Motorhome with 20 friends. (7 per motorhome) and trying to drive the motorhome through the narrowest streets of Mónaco.
- Snorkeling in Belice (saw the most amazing undersea ecosystem ever) and swimming with sharks and stingrays.
- Hitchhiking in Botswana, going trought the Kasane Reserve and watching more elephants and giraffes crossing the road than what I was able to see during the safari excursion.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach spanish, some german or english, and the bad words I know in polish.

I can make some argentinian dishes! And of course share some "mate" tee, that I will probably have with me!.

As I said, I love to try new stuff, specially food!!
