About Me

Im a spanish student who lives in Germany. I have studied my whole degree in engineering there and right now im studying the master in sustainability economics and management. Above all, i would describe myself as an ecologist and i also try to behave in a feminist way. My favourite activity is reading. I read all kinds of books and things, from novels to newspapers to economics, politics and historical books. I also love to learn things all the time. I have always been a basketball fan, even though right now the only sport i practice is biking in the city to move from one place to the other. Also, i admire and like a lot most arts and spetially people who practices any of them, even if im unable to play any instrument or paint anything. I also like to cook.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I travel often between Spain and Germany to meet my family and my friends, and for ecological reasons and to try to live as i think, im trying not to take planes. Therefore, my journeys take more than a day and i need to stay in some point in the middle at least one night, and i always prefer to stay with local people in order to learn a little about how the people in those places really live. I also love to talk with people from different cultures, i think it enriches us all a lot.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I sincerilly dont know what exactly i can offer. I suppose i can offer good conversations about a lot of intelectual themes, spetially the ones about politics, economics or books. Also, in the place where i study i have friends from several countries (India, Nepal, Chile, Argentina, US, etc) from several continents, so i suppose that mix of cultures is partially reflected in the way i think and i can sometimes offer perspectives from other cultures. I also enjoy to cook and eat with people, so i suppose i could share with my hosts the things i know how to cook and i would find it great if they share theirs with me as well.
