Overview
About Me
Hey! I am a 24 year old Ecuadorian who has been traveling the world for a while now. I have lived my childhood in Ecuador, then lived in France, Germany, the United States (Oregon) and Switzerland (all for my Chemistry studies).
My new adventure is becoming a Doctor in Chemistry! I started my PhD in Grenoble, France, and now am going to start a 12-month period in Milan, Italy.
I am a very motivated and happy person, I love conversations about simple and complex topics, I have a ton of funny and good stories to share, and I'm open minded and tolerant to pretty much everything.
I am very interested in learning languages too! I also like sharing them and teaching them when I can.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
My love of traveling: Discovering cultures, new places (both cities and nature) and, of course, meeting people from all over and sharing with them.
I have been given a lot in my short years and I know how lucky I am, that's why I know that I will be happy to give back if I can.
Music, Movies, and Books
I love classic and modern rock, I went to the Desert Trip festival in 2016, it was incredible (I can tell you more about it). I also listen to a lot of other music genres, such as latin american music and reggae.
My favorite movies are Ferris Bueller's Day off and Memento, very different from each other and both recommended. I also enjoy The Lord of The Rings and Star Wars, of course.
Some books I have really enjoyed are Paulo Coehlo's The Alchemist
and Geroge R.R. Martin's series.
