Hi!
My name is Stella and I live in Cortaillod, very near from Neuchâtel, Switzerland, where I'm studying ethnology and psychology/education. I come from Fribourg, a bilingual city, french and german, and i still have a foot there for the week ends, by my parents, because of my work. So depending on the days you could stay in one place or the other!
Although I'm trying to concentrate on my studies and on some hobbies I have, such as salsa, languages learning etc I still have a lots of projects of travel! Italy, Spain, Brasil, France, ... and I'd like to find more and more places to dance salsa too, or simply practice the languages I'm learning while I know some new and interesting people :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I find it more interesting to use Couchsurfing to meet people and especially people from the place to which you go. I travelled this way trough Andalusia and have been hosted in Cuba too, so I hardly imagine to travel differently now!
For me what makes a city, a place or whatever it is, are simply the people who live in it. To meet and know them means seeing a place from the inside and this is what I'm in search for while travelling.

Interests

I love dancing, especially salsa, but I could easily begin to dance on any music I like or which could fall into my ears... I usually try to get interested in any sort of it! I enjoy reading, doing sport (cycling, running, slack-line, climbing, walking...) and I love going to concerts or to the theatre. I really like trying new things and it's not a habit to turn down an offer (which sometimes can be more a fault than something positive) :)
