Hey everyone! I'm Paula Rincón, currently living in Mannheim, Germany as this fall semester I'm in my exchange.

Quick resume if we get to know...

I consider myself a friendly, tidy, funny and easy-going person who loves baking and cooking desserts. I’m a really active person so I love outdoor activities like walking around the city to see new places, go to cultural or artistic activities, exercise and practice some sports. I really enjoy learn about new cultures and how diverse this world is, that’s why plans as go to a coffee, for an ice cream or a cocktail seems to be good beginning to interesting conversations. As travelling here in Europe is easier in comparison to my home country, I really want to take advantage of it to know different cities, so my stays in each destination are not very long, just a few days.

When it comes to discover a new destination I prefer just walking around and experience not just the most touristic places, also those local recommendations. In terms of food I’m open to try new things and to my host … we can cook together!! (Sweet and salty) and of course make an incredible dessert (that is one of I enjoy the most!). Also I love dancing bachata, salsa and in general latin music (If you’re interested we can try some steps and have fun) but when it comes to party I dance almost everything but this does not mean that I do not enjoy quiet plans.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m new in this platform but as some of my friends have had really good experiences here I think this is going to be really useful when it comes to travel. This semester I'm going to do some trips and It would be good to have a good host to walk around and have that local experience or/and a place to sleep.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was at Sierra Nevada in Santa Marta (Colombia) I walk for almost 5 hours from one of indigenous community (kankuamo) until the Kogui community and met their way of living . You cannot imagine how different they live but such an amazing experience and full of culture!!
