Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I believe that a better world begins with better people doing better to each other, and that can only be achieved by getting to know each others' realities.

Mine is surely different than yours, you're welcome to ask! :)

Interests

- How can I perfect my homemade tomato sauce?
- How can I learn more languages with less effort?
- Are Sci-Fi movies really just fiction?
- Finished DIY projects: where do they live? What do they eat? Why do their unfinished counterparts reproduce so fast?
- More ways of making vegetables taste delicious.
- Why can't I drink any amount of alcohol without having a huge hangover?
- How can I improve my CrossFit skills?

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: You name it. I probably never heard, but I'll be happy to experiment!

Movies: romantic comedies (I know, the cliché...) and pretty much anything with a super-hero. No horror / thrillers, I can't sleep after it!

Books: historical romances, Stieg Larsson - The Millennium Trilogy, Jack Higgins - Flight of Eagles, Maria Dueñas - anything, this woman is incredible.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Moved to a completely different country without knowing anyone or anything, language or culture, in behalf of science.
