About Me

Hi, I'm an Ecuadorian studying and working in Australia, saving to travel as much as I can. Even if I came to Australia in Sep-2016, I had my first solo trip in Sep-2018 to China, Korea and Japan; which I must admit changed, astonished and improved me. I'm a really optimistic person with a bubbly personality always up to meet new people and make new friends, I'm really talkative and enjoy deep conversations. I must highlight that I am easy going, open-minded and respectful as well :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Since I started to travel, I found out how important it is not just to visit new places but to meet new people and learn from them and their culture, and what would be better than staying with some kindhearted people which can as well give you more inputs about the place you are visiting. Besides, I'm a student and even if I love to travel I have to make it the cheapest way.

Interests

I'm pretty open minded so I really enjoy almost everything that pops up as long as it aligns my values and principles (does not hurt or damages somebody else).

  • animals
  • culture
  • crossfit
  • latin music
  • history
  • travel
  • food
  • phylosophy
  • personal development
  • social justice
  • latin dances
  • emotional intelligence

Music, Movies, and Books

A bit of everything, of course as a latina I love latino music to listen and dance

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Besides my young age, I consider I've done quite a few important things for myself as coming to Australia by myself and face the world. Besides, my first solo travel which opened my eyes even more (considering that I've got big eyes). But the most important thing out of it is how I'm always looking to get out of my comfort zone and challenge myself, it is amazing because I never know how it is going to be but I'm doing pretty well until now.
