About Me

I am a very calm, responsible, organised person, but I'm also very sociable and friendly. I have to say that I LOVE my job! I like the fact that I can make my own schedule. Also, I have a very sweet-tooth! Chocolate is my favourite sweet ever.
I love any type of artistic expression, such as dancing, singing, acting, and even martial arts.
Travelling has always been my passion. I went to Europe 3 years ago for the first time, and I just loved the experience! ✈ A dream come true! I visited Barcelona, Malaga, Cordoba, Granada, Paris, London, Brussels and Bruges.
Currently, I'm planning to visit Copenhagen with my boyfriend, Andy. We're staying for one year to visit the country and as many other places as possible.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think Couchsurfing is a great way to practice my English since I don't speak it very often in my native country. Even though I teach English to adults, I'm constantly trying to make myself understood so I have to switch back and forth between English and Spanish.

I also think it is a fun way to make friends, meet the culture, and people's traditions, food, and language. Staying at a local's place is a great insight into their lives which no other experience could provide.

Interests

I'd like to make new friends, share traditions, typical meals, talk about life, likes and dislikes, whatever comes up!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love any kind of cheerful music, something that transmits positive energy. But I'm specially fond of EDM, Brit pop, and techno.

Series, movies, short films, books, you name it... I like 'em all! Especially action, detective-like, suspense, comedies, and sci-fi.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbing all the way up to see the Alhambra in Granada. Seeing the most beautiful sunset from "Mirador San Miguel Alto" also in Granada.

Climbing Cerro Uritorco in Córdoba, Argentina, a mountain that is 2000 mt above sea level. It was an extraordinary (and tiring!) 9-hour walk but the view at the peak was just stunning. A sunrise I will never forget!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to make "empanadas", a very traditional dish in my country. I can also bring my "mate", the most popular hot beverage in Argentina. It is a tradition no-one can avoid. And I can show you how to prepare it and drink it properly.

I can offer you some "dulce de leche" (a very traditional sweet from Argentina similar to Nutella when it comes to texture, but the flavour has nothing to do with it haha) and "fernet", which is actually a type of Italian herbal drink which we love to have with Coca Cola since the taste is so strong and bitter.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm very organised and clean. I'm also very polite and wouldn't like to bother you if you're busy with work. So I promise to keep everything as tidy as possible and leave your stuff as they were once I take off.

And if you have time, we can talk over breakfast or lunch. We can go for a walk and have a "mate" at a park, which I will always carry around. I'm good company :)
