About Me

Heyy :D first of all, nice to meet you! I'm a young person with a massive thirst for travelling, socializing and most of all, making new friends. I already had my fair share of incredible experiences travelling and living in other countries and i am proud to say i have some cool and interesting stories to share. Well, not only i like to talk about myself, i love to learn about new people, new ideas and being immersed in new cultures. I can say that "cultural shock" isn't something that exists whitin me as i love to see and experience new ways of living.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meet new awesome people through the most incredible experiences and, of course, to have the chance to explore the world in a cheaper and more fun way.

Interests

Well, i come from a small island in the middle of the atlantic, with amazing beaches and incredible trails, so, i'm a natural hiker. Love the outdoors, sports with friends (frisbee wohooo!) and all sorts of ways to explore nature. Other than this outgoing side, i have to admit i'm a videogame lover as well. But mostly, my main interest are those i call my friends and all the adventures we had/will have together.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: love to listen to music, any kind depending on the days. Can listen to Prodigy, Dream Theater or Greenday and after that just spending hours listening to Enya for example. Also, learning how to play guitar and a guitar enthusiast.
Movies: horror movies. Love the thrill. Massive LOTR fan (they shouldn't have done 3 Hobbit though...) and anything with a little fantasy side. Another passion is Mr. Miyazaki's movies (Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke, Howl's Moving Castle).
Books: not the most regular book reader, but whenever i get a new book it needs to have some sort of fantasy side.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

There is a couple of cool ones. Doing ERASMUS in the UK; volunteering with children in Romania for 6 months; travelling by myself to Canada when i was 19 just for the sake of young love xD

Teach, Learn, Share

As i said before, i have a few great stories to tell. Also, another side of me is that i really like to cook, not for me but for other people, being able to share some interesting flavors if desired. To learn, mostly i'd like to learn about new people, what they do in life, why they do it. I'm an extremely curious person in general.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I pride myself as being a well educated and polite person. Expect someone respectful that will love to show you a bit of my world (through cooking, talking, going out together) and will love to learn about yours as well.
