About Me

CURRENT MISSION

for changing the world... you should start with yourself!!

ABOUT ME

I'm an easygoing person who loves to write and meet new people whenever I can. Since I'm currently studying my last year of my degree in philosophy (I hope so! ^^) I don't get a lot of free time, but when I have I take profit.
I love traveling, discovering new places. My favorite place to be (hard to believe) is... a bookshop! and libraries; one of my biggest dreams is going to the new Alexandria's library. Actually I "own" and online bookstore, although it's not a big company (-__-)
I speak flawless spanish (obviously!) weird english and weird french; I like meeting new people, but I won't be very talkative on the first meeting! I'm kind of shy

PHILOSOPHY

live everyday smiling

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I joined CS in 2012, when I was on exchange in France. Since then I've been using it quite frequently,
When I'm traveling, I like to meet people from the place I'm staying, so I join the city group. I also like to host surfers in my home town, preferably girls, since I still live with my parents.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I post messages for meeting people in the places where I'm going. I've surfed two times, but unfortunately i can't host as often as I would like because I still live in my parent's house

Interests

I enjoy a good read; mystery and suspense thrillers are my favorites, but I recently discovered that I must be in the I'm-grabing-a-book mood, otherwise I won't read a thing (not even the newspaper). I also love writing (I'm still trying to finish my novel) and playing the piano, specially Chopin's preludes. I write a lot, or at least I used to do so ¡that was before philosophy came into the picture!
I'm also a fan of cooking for friends, (specially pastries recipes) and walking around the city.

Music, Movies, and Books

I hate bad dramas and "gore" movies (those with blood everywhere). I'll rather chose on the spot; however I have a small list of favorite films:
- Crouching tiger, hidden dragon
-The lord of the rings
-Memoirs of a geisha
-The house of the flying daggers

when it comes to music I absolutely love one genre: ELECTRONIC!, also classic music. (again, Chopin)
And about books, I do have my favorites:

-Pride and prejudice (Jane Austen)
-Wuthering Heights (Emily Brönte)
-The Bronze Horseman (Paullina Simmons)
-Ne les crois pas (Sebastien Fitzek)
-Black Ice (Michael Conelly)
-The Clinic (Jonathan Kellerman)
-The analyst (John Katzenbach)
-Je vais bien, ne t'en fais pas (Olivier Adam)
-Les temps des poisons 1: On a tué la reine! (Juliette Benzoni)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

-> Ventimiglia, in Italy: Being away from home I found it awesome because of the beach! You can actually smell the salt in the air (like in mexican beaches) ¡for a moment I thought I was back home!
-> GREECE! All of it. I'm absolutely in love with this beautiful country

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach spanish, I would love to improve my lousy french and about sharing... ¿a coffee/chocolate/tea would do? (^^)
