I'm passionate about traveling, both literally and metaphorically. I love novels, films and all kinds of stories. I also love philosophy (have a master's degree), languages (speak 5 fluently) and psychotherapy (currently doing another master's degree on it). I'm a foodie, a music enthusiast and a bookform. I also love long conversations, aimless walks and long nights with new or old friends.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Walking two days in the mexican jungle, seeing an ice storm in montreal, the night at the Sahara dessert, the falls of Iguazú, dancing in Kreuzberg, the bookstores in Lisbon, eating pintxos in the basque country

Teach, Learn, Share

I've been traveling for some years now and I've realized that the best way of knowing a place is knowing the people who live in it. Ive also learned that the tourism industry can have negative effects on cities and believe we should build new ways of traveling based on solidarity. Unfortunately I don't have a permanent home where I can receive people (yet)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can help if you are learning any of the languages I speak (specially spanish). If you happen to be interested in philosophy, literature, psychoanalysis or Mexican culture, I will be happy to tell you all you want to know.
