Lover of animals and meeting new people and trying (sometimes poorly) to speak other languages.

I work as a project manager for an international IT company and although I enjoy what I do, travel is my passion. It's shaped who I am and has taught me how to be a better person through being exposed to and developing relationships with people who I would otherwise never have had the opportunity to meet.

I'm an extroverted introvert, meaning that I want social contact while also balancing the need for time to be alone. I prefer one-on-one conversations over group situations and meaningful conversations over small talk. I'd much rather hear about you than talk about myself although I'm happy to share whatever you may be interested in learning about me.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

It's quite simple, really - I like to meet new people and show them my city. I've been fortunate enough to have traveled to many different countries and met people who have changed my life in both big and small ways.
