CURRENT MISSION

Be happy and make others happy

ABOUT ME

I am a Computer Engineer, currently studying an Erasmus Mundus Masters program. The program requires me to change universities every 6 months for the two year duration of the program: perfect for a traveling spirit. I am proud to be a Venezuelan girl and love to talk to people about my culture and my country.

I love getting to know people from other parts of the world! I think getting in touch with other cultures allows you to understand other points of view and makes you more open minded and tolerant. This is the key to peaceful co-existance. I love traveling, nature, pretty much any sportsy activity and just sharing opinions with different people.

PHILOSOPHY

All you need is love. (despite it being a cliche I firmly believe in this)

Everybody should be able to do whatever they like, without being judged, as long as it doesn't involve hurting somebody else.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love traveling with couch surfing because it allows to live many local experiences that tourists usually miss out on. I am happy to receive people in my small and cozy university residence.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have always received friends on my couch and I love having visitors at my place. I have only once received an official couchsurfer since I used to live in places where I could not host anyboday. When I traveled in Brasil I surfed a couple of couches and the experience was wonderful!

Interests

Traveling, mountaineering, rock climbing, soccer, singing (even though I suck...), dancing, teaching, laughing, the beach, mountains, nature, slacklining, having long and interesting conversations! There are many things to enjoy in life!
