ABOUT ME

Right now I work as an Elementary teacher in Madrid, but soon I will be changing location :) Moving to San Diego in two months! I lived for a year in Finland (Helsinki), and I must say Erasmus changed my life :D. I also lived for two years in Berlin :) I love travelling, meeting new and interesting people and discovering different cultures as a way to improve my perspective of this world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want to particpate in this amazing community by sharing my apartment with people who need accodomation and a funny way of discovering this city. (Soon: San Diego!)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had never participated in CS before until some friends talked to me about it, and I even had the chance to experience it myself while staying at a friend's place. I thougt it can be a great way to discovering new places and new people all around the world.

Interests

As I said before I really love traveling and I still have lots of places to visit. I like being independent and spending the whole day with my friends.
