Hola!

My name is Ynske, from the Netherlands but living in Argentina, the country of my boyfriend Federico. Beginning this year we left Argentina to go travel around Central-America, the Balkans and Iran for some ten months. What we like most about travelling is the people of the countries we visit, getting to know their daily lives, their habits, culture. Those personal experiences are the things I will remember forever.
About me: I am open-minded, honest, social, not that much of a party person. I like to cook, read, to walk around and get lost, to talk about politics or whatever goes on in your country, I like to have coffees in bars, or share Argentinian mates in the park, and much more.

Me presento, soy Ynske, 'gringa' holandesa viviendo y viajando desde septiembre de 2014 en Latino-America. Viaje de Ecuador a la Argentina, donde me quedé un ano viviendo y trabajando. Ahora sali de viaje rumbo a Mexico y Central America. Soy un apersona abierta, honesta y de muy buena onda, y tengo muchas ganas de conocer y vivir otras culturas y experiencias.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I guess I explained this in the previous section... I like to get the know the countries and the people behind their doors. Actually I am pretty new here, although I did surf along with my boyfriend some times, and I've hosted travellers I met during my own travels, all good experiences!

Porque estoy en Couchsurfing? Porque lo que me gusta mas de viajar es conocer como vive la gente en otro lado, conocer su cultura y vida diaria, digamos, charlando y compartiendo buenas comidas y unas cervezas o mates.

Interests

Travelling, cooking, reading (from newspapers to novels and non-fiction), movies (that dont come from Hollywood)

Bueno, me gusta viajar (que sorpresa), cocinar (en una vida anterior trabajaba de cocinera), leer diarios en un café de viejos, y unas cositas mas.

Music, Movies, and Books

Ufff... There are sooo many good books. I love Milan Kundera, Eduardo Galeano, Gabriel García Márquez, Haruki Murakami.... For music I like the Argentian folklore a lot, and movies, well I havent been watching many of them lately, I like the arthouse kind of type...
