About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To go deeper into the French culture; to learn (always); looking for developing my passions

ABOUT ME

I’m energetic, sincere and enthusiastic. I live life with passion, smiling as much as I can and giving to others the best of me. I enjoy small pleasures of daily life. I love facing new challenges. Well, I rather stop here, you'll discover by yourself; it's nice to be surprised sometimes!!

PHILOSOPHY

La vida es un tango, y quien no la baila es un machango (= life is a tango and those who don't dance are wasting the great chance of living)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The experiences lived so far have been great: meeting, hosting, couching… I love meeting people from other places, countries, cultures…

Interests

I love dancing as a way of communication and connection with myself and the people around me. I’ve started tango in September 2010 but I also dance latin dances (salsa, meringue, bachata), flamenco, African dance and the music you can listen to in the bars. I’m very interested in personal development and spirituality. I love mountains, walking though the forest, feeling connected to nature. I also like reading, listening to the music, going to the cinema (not big productions). Ah! And cooking, goint to the local markets… when I visit a country or city I enjoy visiting the local markets.
