Overview
About Me
I´m a 22 years old girl looking for new experiences. I´m almost done with my studies in business and economics. The only thing I have left is a end of degree essay that for what I do not need to stay in college anymore and so I can work on it wherever I want to. Thus this year I have decided to travel and live different things! I have been in Ireland for three months working as an aupair. After I travelled to Germany to make an intership as an english-spanish translator at a council. After this I have experienced organic farming on a great community in Lower Saxony in Germany. Now Im currently travelling in Canada and looking forward to find a place to volunteer, meet new people and get to know more of the country and its culture. To me travelling opens my mind by seeing and interacting with other cultures and ways of living. I feel all the things I learn about myself and about the world when Im abroad are things that would be harder to learn by staying at home.
I didn´t find my vocation yet and when it comes about what I would like to do in future Im really lost but I truly believe that experiencing by travelling is going to help me to figure it out! And eventhough Im lost on what exaclty I would like to do there is something that is very clear in my mind: the world is so big and I want to try to see as much as I can!
Apart from that I can say that I´m a very respectful and openminded person. I´m very interested on people way of living and thinking. I believe there is no right or wrong way of thinking and I´m always up to learn as much as I can from all of them. I´m also very responsible and committed to my jobs and duties. I´m cheerful and sociable and love to be with people around!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Its my first time trying couchsurfing but I have already experienced aupair and workaway. Both require adapt yourself to the way of living of the people you are living with and to create a healthy exchange. I know a lot of people who travels by couchsurfing and Ive been living with a family who hosted couchsurfers and I really find it an interesting exchange. I love to meet new people and enjoy social life and I would like to try this new way of travelling.
Interests
I love reading while having a good cup of coffee. I love cinema and so I watch movies pretty often. I enjoy a lot social life, spending time with friends and family is a very important part of my life.I love food and try new things. I enjoy playing sports in general and I have tried many different sports among my life. But no matter where I am I always try to keep fitted by running around my area, into a park or the countryside if I can! I also love music and music festivals and what to say about travelling! But Im willing to try new things and get new hobbies! One thing I would love to start doing soon is playing and instrument as well as trying theatre lessons!
