About Me

I don't want to waste too much of your time here, let's talk if you want to know more.

I'm really easy-going, always try to have a good time and a very uncomplicated person in general. I speak five languages (English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, German), so we shouldn't have any troubles communicating. I love music, film, literature, the arts and traveling! Up for anything and people tell me that I'm easy and fun to be around with.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Having lived in halls most of the time during my undergrad, I didn't have the chance to host many people. However, I did my best whenever the opportunity came up and met many Couchsurfers while traveling. The people who use CS are a special breed. Nice and hospitable, believing in the good in people and always ready for an adventure!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Started couch surfing in Sao Paulo during my semester abroad in Argentina. Had the most amazing experience when I was hosted by two guys who went to the beach with me etc. Since then I've been trying my best to use CS every now and then and hosted a few people over the time in Germany, UK and Buenos Aires.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One amazing thing I've done?
I went hiking with a group of friends in Argentina once. I was not really prepared and thought that "South of Buenos Aires" would mean going to the beach. Well, we went to see some glaciers instead. (There was obviously some kind of miscommunication happening at that time, but well, I had just arrived and didn't speak too much Spanish back then). So we went hiking for like 3 hours and didn't find the lake we were looking for all the time. When we just wanted to head back, it suddenly appeared after the next hill and it was just mind-blowing. Freezing wind, the strongest I've ever seen, heard or felt in my life. We could hear ice cracking from the glaciers and falling in the water at the other end of the lake. And there were big waves because of that. The colours of both the ice and the water were beautiful dark and light blue and in the background we saw Los Tres Reyes, three of Argentina's highest mountains. Best travel moment ever.
