About Me

I'm a philosophy student with a background in literature and I work at an Arts magazine. My passions include visual arts, cooking (specially vegetarian) and nature. I grew up in South America and I'm now living in Holland, which has given me the opportunity to travel and meet lots of amazing people, push my cultural boundries and learn lots about myself and the adventure of life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love traveling but, quite frankly, I am tired of impersonal hotels and rented apartments. Somehow I always get the feeling that it's so difficult to really understand a place, unless I'm with a local. Guess I'm couchsurfing not only because I love the idea of a 'home away from home' but for all the new perspectives different people can inspire in me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Taught uneducated kids and teenagers how to read and write
Overcame my fear of hospitals in order to work in a non-profit organization that donates art to hospitals (artathospital.com)

Teach, Learn, Share

I always love the opportunity to practice language skills, and it would be amazing to learn new cooking techniques and flavours.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook very well and I'm not afraid of shearing my recipes.
