Overview
About Me
HOLA!
I’m original from Spain but have been based in Edinburgh for the last 7 years and I’m afraid don’t sleep siesta or eat paella, (bizarre, right?).
Spent my childhood surrounded by Lego, drawing and playing sports and video games.
Always needed to express myself artistically, so studying Photography, and Scenic Art helped it a bit. But it wasn’t until I started studying Interactive Design when I found the piece that made me feel completed and became a Graphic Designer.
My main hobbies are documenting my trips around the world and doing anything that involves socializing and outdoors activities.
I also try to watch as many films as I can and listening music 24/7.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Love meeting new people that can show me the essence of the places I go adding great moments, laughs and knowledge and I also love sharing and showing the city I live in, Edinburgh.
Other cultures fascinate me. The more you know the bigger you become.
Interests
Trying new food is always a thumbs up (and different kinds of beer).
Art: From museums to street/local art.
Music: Live music with nice people around sounds ace.
Explore: Cities, walks, nature, THE WORLD!
Pub/Cafe: The mood will dictate if it's time for a cup of tea or a beer :)

Conversations, (hopefully interesting).
I can cook some typical Spanish meals if you like!
Exercise. I'm not an expert in anything, but I pretty much like any kind of exercise: Football, basketball, table tennis (!!!), yoga, hiking, climbing/ bouldering. So please give me a shout cause I'll probably be happy to join you.
I can also teach you the best Photoshop tips!!! Who doesn't want to get rid of spots, wrinkles or even people from a photo?
Video games... any time, any kind, for whatever reason.
