Hi, Im Martina! I ´d travelled around Europe but I´d never used this option before. A friend of mine did it and she had very funny experiences so I said: Ok! let´s try it! And it was a great decision because I met Andreas in Athens, Greece, he was so attenting and considerate! It was my first experience and it was awesome. I’m currently traveling around Asia, I took a sabbatical year at work. I started on January in India and still on till December.
Some things about me:
I love cooking, more than any other thing. I love to express to the people I care about how much they mean to me through my hands by cooking for them.
I love to read but I do it from time to time, sometimes I just dont feel in the mood haha
I love people, and sharing moments but sometimes I also enjoy to spend some time on my own in silence or listening to music, any kind of music.
I love animals, they make me feel pure love and compassion. I couldn’t help touching them when I crossed one till I was bitten by one in the island of Flores, Indonesia. From then on... I still touch them because I can’t help it haha
I am not veggetarian but I try to eat as little meat as possible. For compassion but for healthy reasons as well. I’m not hippo critical.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love electronic music, specially progressive house.
I also enjoy listening classic music, classics such as Sting, Phil Collins, Madonna, also Coldplay, Hammock, Sigur Ross, Jungle, etc and in terms of music styles I like bossa nova and I´m discovering jazz and I really like it!! a lot!!
In fact I like almost everything except few exceptions.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I´ve done lots of amazing things as spending one night at a desert at the north of my country called "Salinas" becouse our car couldn´t succed in taking the wheel of from the clay. It was very cold and a friend of mine entered in panic when a dude told her tha probably there were snakes, as it was a desert! but we hold eachother and fell sleep till the morning came and someone who was passing heldped us in taking the car out of there. It is more funny if I tell you in person hahaha

Teach, Learn, Share

I consider myself as a spiritual person. I think that we are pupils and teachers all the time, if we pay attention you are more and more conscious of it. We are all one.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my cook and a few funny stories!!!
