About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Speak 7 languages well before I'm 30

ABOUT ME

When I was about 12, a cousin from California came to live with me and my family, and boy, we had the funniest moments of our lifes in our daily adventures of two people that didn't speak the same language (Luckily, I eventually got to learn english).

Since then, I got even more into getting to know different people from different places, learning about their culture, studying other languages and traveling around.

PHILOSOPHY

The world would be a nicer place if each one carried along a smile.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Surfing/Hosting, I'm in!
Lately my routine doesn't allow me to surf/host very often (I need vacations!), but I'm always available for a day in the sun or a drink.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Hosting someone is a wonderful experience, each time is different, each person has a story. Same works for surfing.

It's indeed an amazing program, for your routine is part of the "tourism" for the surfer, as he'll get to understand your culture better. Same works for the host, he'll also feel the exchange as if he was traveling.

Interests

Learning different languages
I mean it, I'm currently taking mandarin classes and also studying dutch by myself.

Music
I've studied music for a while, I still love to spend hours over the piano, or the guitar w my friends, we can sing, whatever, I'm in.

Going for sunsets, spending hours at the beach just looking at the waves, taking pictures, partying and meeting new people.

Still, we can spend hours talking about different cultures, international mobility, Broadway musicals, Intellectual Property, Psychology, Disney, politics, Belgium beers.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've worked in Disney World, quite unique experience, to be able to see how they make the Magic, backstage access, and also enjoy my spare time as a guest for FREE, YES! Well, it was amazing to live in a Condo with foreign students, I did make friends for life, which lately I've been crushing the couch, like I did in Tennessee/Knoxville, ("GO UT!") Or in Bs As (Con mis re boludas), and often in Rio.

I also got to know some of Europe quite well crushing my friends couches all over after an Erasmus experience in Spain. My roomies were from Chile, UK and Mexico, there was no routine, each day something new to share. Of course, the Tapas and Siesta way of life got under my skin and now I'm a Spain lover, "NO PASA NADA!"
