About Me

I was born and raised in Madrid (Spain) and moved to Germany for my studies. First I lived in Munich and then I moved to Berlin. Inbetween I also lived for a couple of months in Shanghai (China) and now I am back to Munich for work.

I am a very easy going person, who can adjust to every situation. I love to laugh, dance, drink and party but also enjoy relaxing on my couch with a nice book and a hot chocolate. I love the sun and being outside and miss it quite a lot in Germany, while I miss the German snow when I am in Spain. I love to go hiking or cycling and enjoy most the awesome views of untouched nature. On the other site I am a city person and like to live in big cities where you always have new secret spots and bars to discover.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think that the best way to get to know a new place is meeting local people. Only like that you will get to know how real live is in that place aside from tourism. I am very open to get to know and understand diferent points of views and philosophies of live.

Interests

Dance: I started dancing salsa some years ago and got very addicted to it. This has led me to try bachata, forro, zouk and other latin moves that amazed me. But of course I also like to party with electronic music, hiphop or whatever music the people around me like. I also enjoy a lot live music and like to go to concerts or jam sessions. I can't play any instrument that good as to take part on the jam sessions, but I am always amazed by the fact that people who don't know each other can just improvise such good music.

Nature and sports: I'll rather go hiking or cycling to the wild than visit a city. I ve been hiking in the mountains north of spain several times and would love to make the "camino de santiago" in the close future. I have also been hiking in the german alps and did a bike tour at the 1000 islands lake in China. I have done surf a couple of times and would love to try kite surf. I am a beginner with the slackline and snowboard.

Cook: I love food and enjoy a lot cooking. I do not only cook Spanish dishes, but also international ones and like to improvise with whatever I have in my fridge. There are a couple of dishes that I always get compliments on and would love to cook them for you. I also would love to get to know your favourite regional dish and would appreciate some tips on how you cook them.

Music, Movies, and Books

I can enjoy almost every type of music: rock, pop, hip hop, electro, house, latin music...

There are many movies that I like, though I tend to forget their names. A movie I watched not long ago and enjoyed a lot was "100 Foot-journey", but I don't recomend to watch it when you re hungry.

I love to read novels with an historic or cultural background and always take my ebook with me. Right now I am reading "Fariña", about the drug smuggling in Spain.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Going to Shanghai. I wanted to do an internship abroad and combine it with the biggest cultural shock possible and China definitely offered that.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to cook Spanish dishes and cook for you, too. I can also teach some basic dancing if you are up to it.

I am happy to learn and share everything you can offer.

But most of all I would love to share fun moments and happyness!!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Some nice chats and laughs, food, music, party, sports, trips, friendship...
