About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Be the change you wanna see in the world.

ABOUT ME

Disfruto mucho de cocinar y salir a comer y conversar. Amo el café y el vino. Me gusta leer, jugar sudoku, caminar y a veces hacer trekking.
No soy tu persona si buscas sólo salir a beber y fiestas... A no ser que sea al mediodía 🤪
Tengo 2 perros (Melchor y Eloísa), ellos son mi vida.

I enjoy cooking and eating out, and talk. I love coffee and wine. I like reading, play sudoku, walks, sometimes even trekking.
I'm not your person if you just want to drink and party... unless it's at midday 🤪
I have 2 dogs ( Melchor & Eloisa), they are My life.

PHILOSOPHY

"Remember why you started"

'You deserve what you dream'

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hospedo cuando puedo, no respondo a las solicitudes copiadas y pegadas. Me siento cómoda cuando los viajeros son independientes, pero siempre que puedo, salgo y comparto con ellos.

I host when I can, I do not reply to copied/pasted requests. I feel comfortable when the surfers are independant, but whenever I can, I go out and hangout with them.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Muy lindas experiencias. He hecho amigos de verdad. Lejos mucho más que 1 sofá.

Very nice experiences, I've made true friends. This is a way much more than a couch

Interests

Me gusta compartir, comer, beber, cocinar, caminar. Tambien bromear, leer, ver pelis, jugar sudoku, viajar, hacer trekking, a veces las fiestas, el vino y los helados.

I enjoy meeting people, joking, reading, watching films, Sudokus, traveling, trekking, sometimes partying, a nice glass of wine and ice cream ;)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Cuando tenía 25, renuncié a mi trabajo, compré 1 pasaje de ida y volví 3 años después con el corazón llenito :)
Cuando tenía 34, mi perro Melchor me salvó...

When I was 25 I quit my job, bought a one way ticket and came back home 3 years later with my heart full :)
When I was 34, My dog Melchor saved me...

Teach, Learn, Share

“Yo soy yo y tu eres tu
Yo no estoy en este mundo para cumplir tus expectativas y,
Tu no estas en este mundo para cumplir las mías.
Tu eres tu y yo soy yo.
Si en algún momento o en algún punto nos encontramos,
y coincidimos, es hermoso.
Sino, no hay nada que hacer.
Tu eres tu y yo soy yo”

'I do my thing, and you do your thing.
I am not in this world to live up to your expectations
And you are not in this world to live up to mine.
You are you and I am I,
And if by chance we find each other, it's beautiful.
If not, it can't be helped
You are you and I am I'.

Fritz Perls
