CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy my time in St. Gallen.

SOME OF MY THOUGHTS

- Overcoming the fear to travel alone as a woman in order to feel myself alive while I am living. I love traveling solo and slowly.

- Free yourself of toxic people and thinking. Everything will be ok even if now it's not, you will find the way.

- Don't worry about the future, but be responsible/consequent. You don't have to fill your mind with worries that may never happen.

- "Happiness is only real when shared" is the conclusion of my favorite film. At the end you will be full of memories, experiences you have lived with the people you met.

- I need to find some kind of deep connection with people, I don't feel comfortable just hanging out. It's nice first, but not for longer.

- Life should be about doing a lot of what we like doing, surrounded or not by those who we love, and if by doing that we can add something positive to the world, then that's the way to go! :D

IMPORTANT INFO

I don't like partying, I never enjoyed it. I don't drink alcohol and I don't smoke. I'm in for karaoke and night conversations tho.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite book is "The four agreements" by Miguel Ángel Ruíz and I try to live my life according to it. I am currently reading "El día que se perdió el amor" by Javier Castillo.

I can identify with the movie Into the wild, as well as I have the desire to break with the rules of society. Somehow I started to do it.

I really enjoy listening to piano solos (Stanton Lanier, Ludovico Einaudi), Vance Joy, Hollow Coves, Vanesa Martín, Ólafur Arnalds, Kaleo, but also to random music (rap, hardstyle and EDM).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I don't believe they are amazing, but they changed my experiences abroad and we can talk about them:

- In Spain: Walking about 1100 km on the Primitive Way (2015, from Oviedo to Santiago) and the North Way (2016, from Irún to Finisterre) of St. James (Camino de Santiago).

- In France: 1st HelpX volunteering (2016)

- In Iceland: Road trip through the Ring Road and the West Fjords, sleeping in a tent for some weeks, snorkeling in Silfra, hiking between Eyjafjallajökull and Mýrdalsjökull where I nearly die but someone saved me (2017)

- In South Korea: Lived here for 14 months and explored so much (2017/18/19). Student exchange semester, World Club Dome, hosting in my tiny place for first time (2017); work as a researcher (2018/19)

- In Australia: Road trip from Sydney to Adelaide, 2nd / 3rd HelpX volunteering; Hiking around Cradle Mt. (2017/18)

- In Philippines: Travel with my lovely boyfriend! (2019). It was so great that I consider it an achievement, I got so used to travel by myself all the time that I thought I wouldn't be able to travel with somebody for long times.

Teach, Learn, Share

- A great conversation: solo travels, food and your culture can be really interesting topics to me!

- Going for a walk in the city or hiking in the mountains.

- Cuban salsa dancing. I took classes during 9 months. This doesn't mean I dance well, I just forgot it all haha but I would love to remember it ^^.

- Spanish or Catalan lessons. I was a Basic Spanish teacher for the International Student Lounge of my university in Korea and it was fun!
