My name is Thais! I'm from Dominican Republic (yes, the middle of the Caribbean... and if you are wondering Spanish is my native language) people around me describe me as a cheerful, outgoing and friendly person. I love to meet new people (specially when traveling and now that I’m starting a new life in the UK). I’m always running towards exciting experiences and perceiving things with a positive mindset:)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing because I love to meet people and share experiences!

Interests

Travel, photos, history, bars...

Music, Movies, and Books

I like to read contemporary books, lately I’ve been reading historic fiction novels! I listen to all kind of music, including Merengue, Salsa and Bachata (proudly from Latin America haha)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Difficult to choose one!
•To contemplate the stars and Milky Way in El Elqui Valley and Atacama Desert, both in Chile (2nd clearest skies in the world)
•Get lost in the Great Wall of China (Jinshanling- non touristic part of the Great Wall)
•Ride camels in the Sahara Desert (Merzouga, Morocco) and again contemplate the stars “sleeping” in a tent in the middle of the dunes.
•Sleep in a beach in Busan, South Korea and another night in a jjimjilbang
Oh so many more!

I can teach "Spanish to Survive", Dominican culture, and lastly but not least: to dance the Caribbean rhythms!
