About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Aprender, aprender sobre mi y sobre el mundo.... el camino mas fácil para conseguir eso es viajar, pero existen infinitos caminos, la lectura, música, amigos...y bueno hospedar a gente de cs o pasar la tarde con ellos es uno de esos caminos!

To learn more about myself and about the world. I think one easy and exciting way to do that is travelling, meeting new people and challenging yourself. But I know that's not the only way and it's not even the most efficient, I have learnt a deal more by reading or talking to others, that's way I love about couchsurfing it gives you the opportunity to learn from others which is always easier than learning by yourself.

ABOUT ME

Me llamo blanca, me encanta las actividades al aire libre, el mar y la montaña. Soy una persona abierta aunque a veces un poco retraida, disfruto de la buena conversacion y tambien del silencio!! Lo mejor es que me adapto a todo y con todo intento disfrutar ;)

My name is Blanca, I love being outdoor, I love swimming, running and just moving...I am a very active person and outgoing although I have my inside moments as well. I think my best quality might be that I try to adapt myself to what I have

PHILOSOPHY

Empatia empatia empatia... Si consigues ponerte aunque por un breve momento en la situacion del otro se te pasara el enfado porque te hayan pisado, regañado, o se te hayan colado en el mercado. No todo se puede justificar pero si entiendes las motivaciones de cada uno dejaras de ver enemigos por todas partes!

Empathy... it is the key. Once you understand others it is harder to be angry at their mistakes or they faults.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Muy poquita experiencia pero toda positiva.. hasta ahora solo he sido surfer.. todavia vivo con mis padres.. y digamos que la localizacion geografica de mi casa no es muy apetecible jejej pero tengo muchas ganas de poder devolver todas las buenas experiencias vividas en cuanto tenga mi apartamento!!

Until now I have only travel with couchsurfing in Chile and Mexico. All my experience have been great!
In Madrid I leave with my parents in a little village... so there are not many surfers interested in being host so far from the city! Once I have my own place I will be very happy to return all the good experience I have had so far.

Interests

Disfruto de la buena conversacion sea cual sea el tema

Music, Movies, and Books

Coldplay, mumford and sons, rodriguez, extremoduro.. Para mi la musica se adapta a cada situacion y por eso no tengo grupos favoritos si no algunos son mas adecuados que otros para correr, o pasear o dormir!

Peliculas: memorias de una geisha, el ilusionista, orgullo y prejuicio, el velo pintado....

Los libros.. son otro tema, me apasionan leer y compartir lo que he sentido con cada libro. Me gusta mucho escribir pasajes que me han emocionado y compartirlos con las personas a mi alrededor. Encuentro que a veces utilizar las palabras de otro, mas experto en expresarse, es un mejor metodo para transmitir una idea.

For me music goes with the situation.. I like to pick the right music to the right moment although is a pretty hard job. I particulary enjoy latin music.

Also I enjoy movies.. in general I like things that make my feel something, anger, sadness, joy..

I love books.. I love reading and talking about what I felt. I always carry a notebook with me when I am reading so I can write the nice parts I like.. then I like to share them. I find it's sometimes easier to use someone else's words rahter than your own to express an idea. Some ideas are universal

Teach, Learn, Share

Las personas somos como mosaicos, cada pedacito una experiencia cuantos mas trocitos tengas mejor el efecto del mosaico!!

People are made of experiences, in a way we are like a mosaic. The more experiences we have the more complex we become.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Todo lo que pueda.. obviamente en cada momento puedes dar una cosa, hay momentos que puedes dar mucho y otros que por lo que sea no tanto.. pero intento por lo menos que mis Hosts se queden con algun nombre de grupos musicales españoles, peliculas y algun libro que me haya gustado en especial.

Me gusta compartir las cosas que me han emocionado por un motivo u otro

Everything that I can. It will be different in each situation. I always try to at least give some interesting facts about Spain or about what I have known. If my host likes music I try to give him/her some spanish groups, or same with movies, books ...

As I say I specially like to share things that moved me
