About Me

I am a 30 year old assistant professor of the department of linguistics. I am working on a project of multilingualism and simultaneous multilingual language acquisition. I am a friendly, polite, open-minded and optimistic person who loves to dream big and inspire people. My motto: Nothing is impossible.
I am also very sociable and curious. I love to know something new and have long discussions about everything.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

In August I am moving to Montreal permanently. So it would be an amazing opportunity to get to know new people who I could become close friends with.

Interests

I like learning foreign languages (I speak 6 languages), traveling, discovering new places, different cultures and their customs and traditions, meeting amazing and interesting people from all over the world (I have friends from Colombia, Spain, Argentina, Ecuador, Brazil, France, Portugal, Italy, Tunisia, Morocco, Turkey, USA, China, Thailand and etc.). I am also keen on geography and history (especially history of Europe and Northern America).

Music, Movies, and Books

I listent to different kind of music. One of my favorite bands and singers are The Neighbourhood, Coldplay, Imagine Dragons, Arctic Monkeys, Years & years, Youth, King of Leon, The Chainsmokers, Adel, Rihanna, Drake, Hozier and etc.

Honestly I prefer reading self-help or self-improvement literature, which helps you grow intellectually and socially and instruct you on solving personal problems. My favorite authors of this genre are Dale Carnegie, George Samuel Clason, Napoleon Hill, Mandino Og, Robert Kiyosaki and etc.

I like motivational, positive and funny films which make us laugh and give us hope and desire to make this world a better place to live.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I believe one incredible thing I've done was an attempt to write a book on comparative grammar of Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and French, which was an absolute achievement for me.

Teach, Learn, Share

Since I specialize in the field of multilingualism and simultaneous teaching of several languages, I could share my knowledge of it and give some grammatical and vocabulary lessons of Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and French at the same time. So you will learn 4 languages at once.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I could definitely share my book "Comparative Grammar of Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and French", my experience and ideas of how to learn those languages simultaneously with my hosts. I have just written it and I am going to publish it in Canada.
