About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy whatever comes, and follow the path that feels right.

ABOUT ME

Easygoing, a bit crazy sometimes, absentminded almost all the time. Also quite organized, as contradictory as it may sound. I love meeting new people, but I can be shy sometimes, until I get to know someone.
Important fact, I have a soft spot for gardens and parks. I could stay there for hours, sitting in a bench watching the ducks (and a squirrel if I'm lucky), taking a walk, laying down in the grass chatting or reading... Also, I recently discovered my passion for mountains and all that comes with them (hiking, climbing, alpinism), I'm a newbie, but I try to experience and learn as much as I can about these amazing things.

PHILOSOPHY

Hoy es siempre todavía. Toda la vida es ahora.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've surfed some couches by now, although not as many as I would like to! For me, couchsurfing is one of those things that gives meaning to travelling, so that it's not just moving from place to place "watching" things. It gives you an entrace to that city/village/town/whatever life. So far I haven't been able to host, due to my housing arrangements, but hopefully I will start soon!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first one was with Matt in Youghal, and it was simply amazing. Then in Barcelona, I met a couple of beautiful people who hosted me and showed me around, which made my time there definitely better.

Interests

Laughing, reading, mountains and their perks, gardening (I don't know how to do it yet, but I am very interested!), cooking (although I'm not very good at it), meeting relaxed and interesting people, having long talks, walking under the sun, languages, cultural funny facts, getting lost in any city...

Music, Movies, and Books

For books, I'm gonna go with... "The name of the wind" and "The wise men's fear", "Cien años de soledad", Murakami, "Jane Eyre", "Am I normal yet?", "Ender's game", distopic novels, contemporary poetry... and well, a lot of other master pieces which names I don't remember (the sad story of my life).

As for music, I must say I'm not very good at remembering artists, groups or songs, but I'll try. I'm very much a fan of some of my friends work, such as "Tongo", "La trankitensión", Eva Sierra" or "Dani Mostarac". Ana Tijoux, Tremenda Jauría, Mafalda, Iseo & Dodosound, Extremoduro, feminist songwriters such as "A flor de piel", "La Mare", "María Ruiz" or "Viruta"... And I'm now discovering my electro-music side, which remains little explored. For chilling moments, I love to listen to jazz, swing and folk. And for moments of party, motivation and cleaning, cumbia, reggae dancehall or political reggaeton (it does exist!) are my favourites.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sleeping 8 hours straight with my cat curled up in my belly. Lots of back contractures later...

Teach, Learn, Share

By the time I'm 30 I want to be able to say "cheers" in 30 languages. Big life goal!
I love cooking, and I'd love to learn new recipes from all over the world. I can teach some tipical Spanish dishes!!
Learning how to play the guitar is also my big unfinished business. Now, I will add climbing, I really want to learn!

What I Can Share with Hosts

A nice talk and the time to share stories and experiences and learn from each other.
