Overview
About Me
Wind in my hair, I feel part of everywhere.
***
I am a rather quiet (at least on the outside) person interested in healthy lifestyle and growing, emotionally and intellectually.
I'm vegetarian, don't drink or smoke, have lived, worked, studied, volunteered or travelled through 40 countries of the world already and, in life, look for some peacefulness, authenticity and charm.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I have been living abroad since I was 19 and out of my family house since I was 16 which made me independent, responsible and familiar with being a part of a international team and enjoy it very, very much.
Also, to make it through the uni on my own I've spent all the summers holding different types of student jobs all around the Europe, from being a hospitality manager in Wales, bartender in Portugal, waitress in Spain or elderly people carer in Germany to picking strawberries in Denmark just to name a few.
In the meantime,I also did many different volunteer projects such as giving a hand in the everyday life at the Basida, Spanish home care centre in Aranjuez, planting trees and creating new mountain paths in the Sierra de Francia, teaching Spanish in a cultural project of AIESEC in Belgrade, Serbia, and English in China, working for a Welsh charity shop "Beacon of hope" in Aberystwyth or doing an internship with Amnesty International in Valencia, Spain, and would love to keep on spending my time this way, sharing and learning in an international environment, because those are among the best things I have ever done.
Interests
In short, I love learning new things, gaining new skills. Discovering. Feeling connected, to People, to Places, To Art, Literature, Projects. Expanding myself. Catching the vaguest glimpses of lucidity. Sitting cross-legged around the fire.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I've been able to survive the storms and live a healthy, ethical and interesting and very international life despite the aching loneliness of not having been loved by anyone yet, not knowing what love is.

What I Can Share with Hosts
I have hitch-hiked and travelled extensively and try to be grateful for all the things that happen in my life and all the connectedness that I so generously get to experience and want to share.
(Besides a bed, lots of tea, mellow music and conversations about anything and everything).
