About Me

I am a calm person who likes playing tennis and soccer. My favorite soccer team is Barcelona =)

I am moving to San Diego, California to work as a software developer =)

I am learning how to dance salsa and also how to take professional pictures! There are so many nice places and so many things to do around here that I'd like to have some pictures to remember them by =).

If you stay with me, I will probably ask you if you can pose for a few pictures for my Instagram account =)
(stopped for a while and will post more pictures soon =)). You can have a look at them here :

If you know how to take pictures or want to model for me, you are super ultra mega welcome, without a doubt! =) Also if you speak German, you are also very welcome since I am learning German ! jaja ^^

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I will be new in the city so I want to meet more people! =) I already sign a lease for my apartment, but when I have it I will host people again =) This time no roommate to ask if people can stay! =D

I also want to hear stories about your travels because I also want to plan a big trip someday! =)

I only host people who use couchsurfing to hang out with locals, and not as a free hotel! I get a lot of requests from people like : "I am going to a wedding/concert/course" -- and this is literally all they write in their request, nothing about hanging out together in the afternoon =(

I joined couchsurfing to meet people! not to be a free hotel!! If you want me to consider your request, please include the phrase 'talking dreams'. If your request does not come with this sentence, I will decline. I am sorry for that! but I don't want to host people that aren't interested in connecting with me on a personal level!

Also, I only host on the weekends! (or long weekends/holidays). This is because I would like to spend some time with you =) and I don't have much time during the week.

If you want to stay longer, I will let you know after spending the weekend with you as I need to feel like I can trust you enough to let you into my home while I'm not there. Does that sounds like a plan? =) If not, sorry! for me it does jaja

Interests

Tennis, different cultures, hiking, traveling, music, salsa dancing, origami, Netflix.

Music, Movies, and Books

Soda Stereo, Natalie Imbruglia, U2, Beatles..

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I used to go to international IT, math and physics competitions.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to get to know San Diego and around, I am pretty interested in meeting german-speaking people because I love german culture. =D

Recently I met two Austrian siblings and they were great! And because of them I started liking Austrian people so much! =)

I want to know a little bit of everything and listen to your stories! If you don't like to talk or you are not patient with people that talk a lot (aka: me =) ), you probably won't like staying with me. lol

What I Can Share with Hosts

If it is on the weekend and I do not have plans, I can explore with you San Diego!! =D

If it is during the week, I will ask you to explore the city while I am working =(

In the afternoons we can go to downtown San Diego =) We can play boardgames, talk, hike, play tennis, eat a lot, go to the pool or jacuzzi, play bowling, have a barbecue, go to the movies, or whatever you want! =) I do not know what else to write! jajajaj but I am open to suggestions =) jeje
