About Me

I'm a Psychology student currently working as an extracurricular English teacher in Madrid.
My main goal in life is to travel around the world and to get to know different cultures. I have been living in Canada and in Poland, and I have also visited many different countries as USA, Germany, Czech Republic, Hungary or Croatia.
I love nature and I take every chance I get to go to the mountains to climb or hike.
I'm an outgoing person who loves to meet new people from different places and to share experiences together.
I believe humans are social by nature and happiness is based on how we interact with the others. I try to enjoy every moment and to take the positive from everything. <3

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I decided to enrole couchsurfing because I think it fits perfectly with my point of view of travelling, just sharing and get connected with people from different places. I'm looking forward to meet new people thanks to CS!

Interests

I'm an artistic person who loves art and photography. I write and my camera is a must when I travel.
I'm also a nature addict so I'm always going to the mountains. I love to climb and my friends and me are always organising trips to the mountains to enjoy nature and sport. I also hike and I really enjoy walking around in the forest and feeling free outside the stressful city.
I'm also a music fan, mainly electronic music. I'm into Psytrance and I've been in different festivals of this music, as MoDem festival in Croatia or Konfussion festival here in Spain. I also love techno and it will always be part of me.
I love to cook and I'm always trying new recipes. I love to learn how to cook the typical food from every country, but my speciality is desserts. I'm always baking cakes and cookies for my friends and family.
I would say my main hobby, apart from this, is travelling, even when right now with my job I don't have enough time to travel as much as I would like to. I take every chance I get to visit new places and to get to know different people and cultures.

Music, Movies, and Books

As I said, I'm into electronic music and I love Psytrance and Techno music. Apart from this, I really enjoy listening to music (almost any kind) and I'm always with my earphones on. In my mp4 you could listen to many different music styles as Balkan, Ska, Flamenco, Rap, Reggae or Rock. It only depends on how I feel that day.

I'm also a movie addict and I'm always watching new films. My favorites are thrillers, but I'm up to almost anything. I also watch many series and I'm a fan of British series as Broadchurch or Utopia.

About reading, I read many different books that go from novels to essays about topics I'm interested in. I would say my favorite author is Noam Chomsky.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Difficult to pick one... Last year some friends and I decided to rent a mobile home and we went from Spain to Croatia to finish in an amazing music festival there. We stopped in many amazing places. My favorite stop? Italian Alps and having the chance to climb there.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm willing to share everything I have and know with different people, and also to learn new things for them. Anything I know you're interested in, I will be amused to help!!!!! :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Apart from conversation, I can offer my cooking skills and my eternal smile to any host that accepts me at his or her home. Sharing is living.
