Hi, I'm Romina :)

I am a born adventurer and have a huge obsession with travelling. It doesn't matter if I go with friends, family, groups, or on my own, I have an ever-growing need to see the world and experience absolutely EVERYTHING about a place, from food to culture to local places to history to architecture to nature. I am either on a trip or thinking about my next one.

I am also immensely curious, friendly, and reflective. I will look at ordinary things in your hometown in wonderment. I will wanna pet your fluffy pets (if you have any) and talk to strangers on the street. I am in love with life. I also enjoy board games, reading, strolling, swimming, learning, and laughing.

When I'm not travelling, I keep busy by volunteering and hanging out with friends. I am a medical student, but not the snobby kind, I promise!

And, well, there you have a small summary. The rest you will have to find out for yourself. Can't wait to meet you!

Note: I will be glad to host you, but I am only in town from Thursday to Saturday, because my university is in another city.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I'm very excited to meet new people from all over the world, and I think a city is much more than its tourist attractions. The core of a place is its people, and it's the people I want to get to know and exchange experiences with.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I solo travelled!! I have a visual impairment, so this simple thing was a huge challenge for me, especially in terms of finding my way back to my hostel after each time I got lost (sometimes on purpose). But hey, I did it, and loved it!

What I Can Share with Hosts

-Spanish, English, French, and a bit of a few other languages
-Ethnic, home-cooked dishes!
-My love for all their furry friends
-A thousand random facts about everything
-Very deep conversations or debates (though, on the other hand, I am not the best at small talk)
