My name is Victoria.

I love to travel. I love to read books. I love poetry. I love the sun and the rain. I am always supportive and never judgemental. I am quiet on the outside and crazy on the inside. I can be very happy and very sad. I am a hippie at heart. I am not perfect. I can laugh for hours about jokes that aren't funny. I wear different types of socks. I sing badly in the shower. I am a good listener yet the worst storyteller. I am a good cook yet a bad baker. I want to look back at my life knowing it wasn't perfect but I always did what I love.

Or to say it with Bob Dylan: All I can do is be me, whoever that is.

Perché sono iscritto su Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing has given me so much so far. I Met the most Amazing people, shared the most beautiful places with them, their generosity amazes me and gives me Hope for a better World.

I definitely want to give that back as soon as i settle down. If i ever will :)

Interessi

Reading is my form of meditation. It comforts me when I'm sad. It makes me feel less lonely. The best books are those that you have to stop yourself from reading because you don't want them to end.

Languages are the key to the world. Learning them feels like conquering a part of it.

I love to cook. I tend to use too little salt and too much spices though.
