About Me

Hi everyone! About me? That is difficult to describe.
Although I have signed up since a while, I have just decided to complete my profile and start being part of this great community.
I am a shy person, or I guess I am, until the chat starts. Once it happened, I am very talkative, and sociable, and friendly.
I love cooking, meeting new places, writing, reading.
I love talking about a lot of subjects because I always say you learn from everyone, and a bit every day.
I am in Germany now, in my first big trip. Now I am in Berlin, but as it is a big city, I think I got scared and it is costing me a lot to talk and learn German. In April I'll continue my trip to Dresden and that is the idea, to follow South, and know every corner of the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people from all around the world. When I have my own place, everyone will be very welcome.
Now that I am on a trip, on this big trip I am so afraid of (yes, still haha), I need locals to learn the language and the culture... and the food :P

Interests

Well, I have a lot of interests. Those are the greatest, but I always want to learn more about everything.

  • culture
  • writing
  • books
  • politics
  • movies
  • languages
  • religion
  • world
  • food
  • travelling
  • series

Music, Movies, and Books

Music:
I don't have a favourite type of music; I like listening almost to every kind of music, as long as it is variated. I love lyrics, heavy, latin music, and more.

Books:
I love every book haha. I love bookstores and libraries. When I can, I would like to found a public library.
Books like Millenium Trilogy, Harry Potter (yesss haha), Jane Austen's, Jane Eyre, romantic books, policial books, thriller, and now I am entering the Stpehen King world.

Movies:
Dirty Dancing; Home Alone; Pride and Prejudice; Avengers; and more. It doesn't come to my head right now. But apart from horror movies, I am very keen on cinema.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

This. Come alone for the first time to a country I don't know the language, for ten months, ideally. Let's hope I don't change my mind.

Teach, Learn, Share

When I came here, starting with this adventure, my godmother gave me a book. It is called: "One minute to fly". It's to meditate every day about life.
The other day I read something great, that went right to the point of this moment of my life, when I am discovering myself:

"If you heart wishes a lot of things, and you feel as if a lot of this wishes were boiling inside you, making you shake, you eventually will end uneasy, without peace, without knowing what to do or what to look for. When you're like that, with your heart wanting to go to so many places at the same time, it is hard to turn off those wishes or pick up just one. But you can order them. You can decide which ones are more important, which ones are convenient to take care of and make them grow even more, and which ones come after all that, because they are less important for your life and for your happiness."

What I Can Share with Hosts

Languages (mainly Spanish and English), culture, food, customs, laughing :), and well, time and life with experiences.
