I'm a globetrotter from Northwestern Spain. I live in North Wales, where I study for my PhD at Bangor University and work as a part-time Spanish-language tutor.

I am very sociable and talkative, honest, reliable and hard-working, as well as very tidy and clean.

At the moment I am in no situation to host anyone because I'm living in shared accommodation and the place is very small. However, I will change my availability as soon as I can rent a bigger place for myself.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I love travelling and the enriching experiences it brings: meeting new people with whom to discuss ideas and exchange opinions; visiting new places, admiring their art, architecture and landscape, as well as learning about history and culture.

Additionally, I'm in the final year of my PhD, I must travel to do research and my financial resources are very limited because, f I want to finish and submit my thesis in time, I can only have flexible, part-time jobs.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Never giving up and powering through giving my best shot no matter how many unexpected challenges come my way.

教，学，和分享

Teach: I can teach you Spanish and Galician at any level, as well as help you improve your English and your French (if you are a non-native speaker and learning).

Learn: I would extremely appreciate any help in practising and improving my foreign languages.

Share: as a university-trained translator and interpreter, I can guarantee that there is no such thing as "simultaneous/consecutive translation": translation involves working with written texts, while interpretation involves oral communication, so whenever you hear someone say (whether in TV/cinema or real life) "simultaneous/consecutive translation", what they really should be saying is "simultaneous/consecutive interpretation".

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

Good company, pleasant conversation about languages, travelling, Spain, food, cultures, history, etc; help around the house; cooking carrot, orange and ginger creamy soup, and many other (hopefully) interesting things.
