About Me

I'm an extrovert person who really enjoys meeting new people and visiting new places. I love learning new things, and I would describe myself as tenacious, trustworthy and creative.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really like meeting new people and getting to know other cultures, as I believe it to be extremely enriching. My great passion is traveling, so I find CS a very good tool for learning about other countries, cultures and ways of thinking; in this way I'm able not only to see the place as a tourist, but to get to know the people that live there and see the country as a local. Also because of my student budget.

Interests

I love being outdoors, nature and sports such as surf, ski and volleyball.
I crave beauty, overall in nature, from landscapes to star-gazing, and I enjoy hiking. I play the piano, the guitar and the flute, and when I was little I belonged to the school choir (still like to sing :). I'm a self-starter, which is why last summer I went to America as an Au pair and this summer I'm going to Oxford to work as a tourist guide.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy almost any type of music, although I must say Morat and the Script are my personal favourites. I like dancing to reggaeton too.
Reading is another passion of mine, and for now, Harry Potter, Pride and Prejudice and Emma are at the top of my list.
As far as movies go, I like action movies (such as Edge of tomorrow, The next three days or X men). Many of my favourite movies and characters are from Marvel, but my favorite trilogy so far is Batman (with Christian Bale).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Help in the Cottolengo del Padre Alegre, home for disabled people with terminal illnesses. I went for a year to help out with the ill women who lived. When you see great suffering something within you changes.

Teach, Learn, Share

"The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you understand why" Mark Twain

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am friendly, I smile a lot and am generally in high spirits. I can help out with household chores, babysitting (last summer I took care of four kids for two months in America) and cooking (specially cakes). I can also teach any of the languages I speak or the instruments I play!
