If you don't see any reference it's because I am totally new on CS, and I don't quite understand how it works, but please feel free to send me a Friend's Request, my FB account is https://www.facebook.com/AdanAlbarranSalazar, where I post a lot of photos of me, crap and things I like, but you'll be able to know a bit of me.

I'm a Mexican fashion and textile design student, 22 years old.

I LOVE black and white pictures, quotes from movies, song's lyrics, tattoos, nail polish, crosses, embroidery; and black, transparent, wierd clothes.

I was interested in English since I was like 5 years old and I started learning in any way I could by myself, so I consider myself mostly self-taught. Please forgive my mistakes.

I love my career, but I'm still unsure about what will my life be once I graduate, because I'm interested in so many things. I used to just want to be a famous fashion designer based in Paris, but now I just want to geta good job to make some money and travel all around the world with my family. I used to want to become an accountant, then a veterinary, then a teacher, then a writer (after I read Harry Potter, watching many fantasy movies, and wanting to create some profitable alternate world).

My favorite places on earth (until I can visit new ones):

- My grandmother's house.
- Le Chateau de Versailles.
- Paris.
- Sanctuary of Fatima.

I'm currently having an internship in Portugal. I love learning languages, visiting new places, meeting new people, food, movies, I love to read and I'm obsessed with couture. I'm very respectful, and open-minded, I like to help people. I love animals, so I'm a vegetarian.

I hate common selfies. I'd rather turn on my camera's timer, run and make a weird pose imitating some vintage Vogue cover. Then I'd post it on FB using some lyrics from a song I love.

I ridiulously dream of finding the love of my life to travel around the world.

I collaborate on an online (soon to be printed) magazine as fashion writer, which I enjoy very much.

Oh, and my mother thinks I should study languages instead of fashion.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I just found out this amazing Web page when I was planning a one-week trip to a few countries around Portugal, so I decided it would be awesome to try...

I'd like to meet people and learn from their culture, what they like; but also to make new friends. And also to visit new places and not being completely alone, barely talking with anyone.

Interests

Fashion, photography, couture, books, movies, music (almost any kind of music), languages, travel, food, collecting things. I say a feel inspired by basically anything: Beautiful pictures, vintage movies, black and white portraits, fashion films, an embroidered dress, a song..

I'm not a good cook, but I try to learn. I don't enjoy food if it's not spicy or extrasweet.

Music, Movies, and Books

There are SO MANY I honestly like, but the ones I always mention:

MUSIC: 80's music, Lorde, Son Lux, Florence and the Machine, Lana del Rey, Antony and the Johnsons, Aurora, Björk, Porter, Juan Son, Sébastien Tellier, Marina and the Diamonds, Crystal Castles, Rammstein, a few mexican bands. And so many more. I HATE IT WHEN PEOPLE LIKE MUSIC JUST BECAUSE IT'S THE TREND OF THE MOMENT.

MOVIES: Drama, Fantasy and anyhting I can relate to. Nymphomaniac (this one changed my life and I even got my first tattoo from a quote in the film), Mommy, Melancholia, Harry Potter, Laurence Anyways, Marie Antoinette, Fashion Documentaries, Mean Girls, Resident Evil, Underworld, Saint Laurent, Funny Face, Breakfast at Tiffany's, Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain, A Single Man, Jurassic Park, Lolita, Prometheus, Alien. And a big etc, etc, etc...

BOOKS: Harry Potter, A Single Man, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, The Strain, Marie Antoinette (La Reine Sacrifiée), The Devil Wears Prada. And a few others..

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Walking through Versailles in a black skirt. And eating what we, Mexicans, call "torta de frijoles" (beans sandwich) in Paris while contemplating the Eiffel tower.

Teach, Learn, Share

Crush what you're holding so can say letting go is easy.

I can teach about Mexico, my Spanish, our typical food, our manners, ANYTHING.
I'd love to learn as much as I can from people, my dream is to meet people from all around the world, to keep these life-changing experiences and to share them with my family and friends once I go back to Mexico.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Anything I know and can do, anything they need.

Spanish, a little about mexican food, french/english/portuguese (the little I know, if they don't). I can share my experiences through my 22 years.

I'm an open book, and I'd be delighted if someone wants to learn something from me.

Countries I’ve Lived In

France, Mexico, Portugal
