About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy life.

ABOUT ME

I am an open-minded optimistic girl who likes learning from every little thing in life.

PHILOSOPHY

Little things make great ones happen.
Live and let live.
I'd rather regret the things I've done that the ones I haven't.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think CS is one of the best ways to get to know new places and meet new people. Nobody will show you a place better than its locals.

Interests

I love traveling since I was a kid. I study languages and also like meeting new people, playing ukulele, skiing, nature, partying, laughing, and most of typical stuff like hanging out with friends, concerts, a good film, eating, or cold beer.
Any plan in good company can turn into a great one.

Music, Movies, and Books

This could be infinite... let's say without these three things life would make no sense!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Watching whales from a 3meter-distance, skiing through Canadian pine forests, taking a bus with a friend from Quebec to Chicago with just a backpack and nothing planned, and, actually, the whole experience of traveling and living abroad and meeting new people from different cultures.

Teach, Learn, Share

I teach languages, and I really like it! I also knit, so I can teach how to make a scarf or a cool beanie (go check Brigada Abrigada on Facebook or @brigada.abrigada on Instagram), and also how to play the ukulele. Anyway, anything you want to learn that I can teach, just ask, I'm quite patient.

When I travel, I love learning languages from other people, most of all expressions and words people use but you don't usually find in books, and I'm always interested in local or national music.
I also like learning random surprising stuff. I love it when you learn something you had never even thought about.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good vibes, delicious homemade Spanish omelette and other cooking, travelling tips.
