About Me

I'm a very a little-bit-of-everything-person. So this "all about you" it's complicated. But I'll try a synopsis.
I'm a Venezuelan Jewish with Spanish, Ukrainian, German, Egyptian and Peruvian origins ( thanks to my grandparents ) which has made me a multicultural person, though I feel mostly Venezuelan....

Growing up in Caracas has made me a strong young woman ( I know it sounds cliché ) and being a modern Jewish has given me a lot of values. Studying graphic design has made my eyes and mind even more sensible to everything.

I love to travel my country and the world; that has made me mostly who I am: and outgoing, tolerating, fun and responsible person.

I love Italian culture and art history, I have studied it.
I love music, animation, photography and experimenting with those three.

PHILOSOPHY

I need a balance with a touch of craziness in my life to live.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I cannot offer a couch right now ( though I would like to ) cause' I live @ my family's house in Caracas ( and it is a full house ), but as soon as I get my own place ( still don't know where ) I'll offer a couch or a bed for sure. Meanwhile I'm up for a coffee, beer, drink, city tour, conversations or whatever it comes up!

Interests

Experimental Music - Musique Concrete
Graphic Design and Visual Communication
Photography - Lomography - Instagram

BEACH ( love the beach )
Adventures and roadtrips (most of it)
TRAVELING - backpacking - loner travel

But mostly, any spontaneous plan.

Teach, Learn, Share

Plan a little bit your travels and adventure, but let yourself go loose.
Travel with friends but then stay longer traveling alone, finding your space and may be, yourself.
Trust your instinct and do WHATEVER YOU WANNA DO.
