I'm a writer. I love hearing and telling stories. I am passionate about people, culture, traditions, languages and travelling. I am particularly interested in telling the stories of people who are not represented in mainstream media. I am looking to write about women and the elderly.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am here to meet people that share similar interests and that can be partners in my quest to tell the stories of those whose voices we do not hear.

Interests

writing, women, elderly, global south, changing narratives and giving rise to original and thought-provoking angles to stories, travelling, making new friends, being challenged to think differently. In one word: LEARN.

• culture
• writing
• vegetarian
• traveling
• socializing
• blogging
• coding
• communications
• languages

Music, Movies, and Books

These change all the time. I'm not very good with music - I like commercial pop. Britney and all that. Not very cultured with movies either. Books: too many to mention but I really like the Dubliners which I am reading now in an attempt to catch up with the classics.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to learn from others. I teach English in Paris, I am learning how to code. I have my own blog which I invite you to read. https://paputaz.wordpress.com/
