About Me

CURRENT MISSION
I'm half way of the place I want to be in life. In my current job I have more money to travel but less time to actually do it. When I was a teacher I had the time but I didn't have the money... life's ironies. My goal is to have a job where I can have both, money and time to travel.

ABOUT ME

I seem very quiet at first but then when I open up you realise that I'm a really fun person to hang out with. I'm very responsible and organized with my life but a little bit messy with my stuff. I loves animals and I don't eat meat. I'm a VEGETARIAN. I'm not a religious person but I respect different beliefs. I'm very openminded. I don't do drugs nor smoke anything, I like having a healthy lifestyle. I'm a feminist.

PHILOSOPHY

Life's too short...
"buy the plane ticket
quit the job
accept the date
start the company
write the book
sign up for the class
make the call
plan the trip
wander into the unknown
open your heart
take the leap"

life can be over in a second, stop wasting it

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I travelled around Europe a few years ago, and I couchsurfed everywhere I went. I've hosted people from USA, Iran, Croacia, Spain, Germany, Canada, France, Italy, Czech Republic, Belgium, Colombia and Buenos Aires. I also like hanging out with travellers to show them around if I have the time. I'm inlove with Mendoza and I'll do my best to show my guests why Mendoza is so wonderful, beautiful and enjoyable.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfed in Mexico, Amsterdam, Brussel, Stockholm, Berlin, Oslo, Dublin, Liverpool, London, Malmö, Copenhaguen, Paris, Lyon, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Prague... Every experience was different from the rest. I've had a lot of fun just talking to my hosts, meeting their friends, playing and winning monopoly, I've cooked for them, they have cooked for me, to sum up, I've had excellent experiences.

Interests

I like doing things outdoors. Going for a run, roller skating or biking, I also swim. I like parks and green areas. I like hanging out with my friends on the weekends and sharing a meal with my father. I also enjoy cooking, reading, and I don't mind spending a saturday evening watching series. I enjoy anything related to wine, tasting it, going to winerys, vineyards, wine festivals, etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Crossing the Cordillera de Los Andes by plane, it's beautiful. Visiting New York in the winter. Going to the amalfitan coast by motorcycle. Spending a night in the Sahara desert, wonderful to see the stars and even better to watch the sunrise. Swimming in the ocean with a dog in Tulum for a whole hour because she wouldn't get tired ;).
