ABOUT ME

After 10 years travelling around, enjoying the world, total freedom and all kind of experiences I have settled back home for more than 10 years now and work as a spanish teacher in high school in the surroundins of Paris.
I'm a rather happy person, I enjoy beeing surrouded by friends, sharing food, drinks and good time. I wouldn't qualify myself as a crazy party girl but I obviously enjoy going out, having fun and especialy dancing salsa, bachata and brazilian dances. Most of my free time is devoted to dance !
Despite the fact that I'm settling in France, I'm not giving up my traveling virus and I'm keen on keeping meeting new people and new cultures through short holidays and I love couchsurfing !

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had a many experiences in couchsurfing, most of them really different but it was always a very nice human experience. Couchsurfing in a big city like Barcelona is obviously very different from a small country town in northern Uruguay or in the middle of the Austrian Alps ... The most important thing is to meet nice and interesting people and to feel part of the local daily life.
I haven't had the opportunity to host yet, I have been moving a lot. I'm at the moment living in the suburbs of Paris, not the city center so not that attractive and my flat is very small and has only one room which makes it hard to host.

Interests

I'm a spanish teacher in high school who spent more than 4 years of her life in Latin America, it's been a long time now since I finally settled back in Paris but that part of the world will always be part of me and my main interests. However any culture or place in the world can keep me busy for hours or days ... Apart from that I enjoy good food, (I love cooking but I don't practice so often...), I really love salsa, kizomba and samba and brazilian zook dancing, enjoy the nature, have environmental awarness (I'm willing to practice Permaculture as soon as I have a garden) and really enjoy working with teenagers.

Music, Movies, and Books

Latin-american music, almost all kind but mainly salsa and brazilian music. I fell in love with samba !!. Also pop rock and easygoing music ... ! I'm not good at clasifying music genders, I appreciate almost everything.
Movies... mainly small budjet international films, not such a specialist in cinema.
Books... I love reading and I'm unable to pick up any book that would be my favorite.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A rising full moon in the outback in Australia, that was such an unexpected view, I didn't know you could see the moon rising...

Diving in the great barrier reef !
