About Me

I love my dogs (I have 2) and spending time with my family and friends.
Travelling is one of my fave things to do, which is something we all share in this platform.

Music, Movies, and Books

It's very difficult for me to pick favorites, because it depends on the time of my life, but I'm a huge LOTR fan, so the trilogy is always very close to my heart, specially the second film. But I think anything Wes Anderson always gets me in a good mood, Call me by your name (as well as the book and soundtrack) and Dans la maison (amazing french film). Your Name (Kimi no na wa) is incredible as well, if you're looking for a good animation film.

The music that I listen to nowadays is kpop, indie rock and some hip-hop//trap. I don't like to restrain myself from different types of music.
Last year (2019) I saw BTS (Paris), GOT7 (London), Nick Murphy (aka Chet Faker), Vampire Weekend and The National (Lisbon), different concerts, but each memorable for different reasons.

I don't have a favorite book, but The Catcher in the Rye got me in my teenage years.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've done the Erasmus program twice, which is basically a student exchange program. I've lived in Norway for 6 months in 2017 and I would say that was the best experience of my life, because it was truly life changing finally leaving alone in a country that is so different not only culturally but also in terms of the climate conditions, at that point I had never seen snow let alone live in a country where the sun only appears for like 3/4 hours during the winter. I also saw the northern lights and experienced the midnight sun.
The second time I did it was in Poland in 2019 and I lived in Krakow for 5 months, which was also pretty cool!!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a very curious person, so I'm always be eager to share experiences and get in touch with different cultures and new people.
I can teach more about my amazing country and I can tell you good spots to visit or if you want I can even show you around!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm always gonna try to make sure that my hosts have a good time! And I can share my experiences and stories with them. If they need any informations or help I can provide it to them.
