Hi everyone!

My name is Valentina and I am 21 years old colombian girl. I studied Political Science and Law in France and now I'm doing an Erasmus Mundus Master's in Humanitarian Action. My second semester is in Warsaw so here I am, experiencing Poland till June :)

I love to travel. I prefer to experience local life and get to know the cities with local people instead of taking tours. It could be kind of weird, but I like seeing how people live depending on the country. One of my dreams is to visit the whole world. Right now my mission is to arrive to 50 countries before turning 22.

Apart from travelling, I'm passionated about history, conflicts and culture. I love photography, nature and hiking. Unfortunately I'm living in a shared flat right now and I cannot host, but as soon as I get the opportunity, I will get back to hosting.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I downloaded CS when I was 15/16, during my first solo trip around Europe. I didn't use it too much but it was a great experience to meet some people through Hangouts.

When I moved to France, I wanted to open my apartment to travelers. It was an amazing experience. When I'm not traveling, I love listening to travel stories and learning words in other languages

Now that I'm living in Warsaw, I have flatmates so I cannot host. However, I want to continue meeting people, opening my mind and learning new things. And of course if I'm travelling, I would like to enjoy local life, the real life. I love experiencing new cultures and I think CS it's a great way to do it !

兴趣

Even if it's kind of weird, I'm really interested in geography, history, philosophy and politics. But I have normal interests as photography, painting and skateboarding.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I you accept to host me, I will be glad of teach you some things about my culture and my country. I'm a terrible cooker but I can try to make a typical dish from my country.
