About Me

Dear Travellers!
Between 25th June and 15th September I can't host because I am taking a summer break to travel a little in Europe. Going first from Córdoba to Hungary, stopping in Valencia, Barcelona, Milan, Verona, Venice, Ljubljana and Budapest, then back to Córdoba.

CURRENT MISSION

Quite literally- finding my place in the World.

ABOUT ME

What I like: early morning light and smells, good books, trees (the last 2 might sound controversial) watching a storm from a sheltered place, music that makes me relive memories, the "aha-moments" when I teach, and traveling, among other things

What I hate: prejudice (ok, everyone has them, but at least we need to know this),the moment when I realize that I forgot something important again (I'm hyper-distracted but at least lucky) getting up late, people who take themselves too seriously, and...that's all for now.

PHILOSOPHY

Nothing lofty...try to live doing the least harm possible and notice what you can do around you to help. Karma works, for sure.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have had a few great experiences hosting people in Córdoba, so I'll go on collecting some more. Fortunately I was hosted by some extraordinary people during my three month- travelling.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

rather, what happened to me: standing in the outskirts of New York, as a totally inexperienced traveller, trying in vain to get to the airport when a bus driver offered to give me a private bus ride on the out-of-service bus so I wouldn't miss my plane. People are amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can practice English, or Spanish with you (even teach some Hungarian if you are the one for challenges)
I can show you around Córdoba and tell some bits and pieces of history if you are interested.
What I have learned but still need to practice: deal with big problems while they are still small.
