About Me

I would say that I am quite chatty, open-minded, joyful and curious. Consider myself down to earth but loving adventure: the more travelling, the better! I like having time to myself and being independent but I also love meeting new people and having fun with friends.
Currently studying last year of Primary Education degree and hoping to be able to become a teacher. I have also studied for 3 years biochemistry but at last, I realised lab life wasn't for me. So in order to organised my mind, I did a break, I went to England and worked as an au pair. There I decided that education would be my thing, so I started this degree and I can surely say this is my passion!
Now I am back in Madrid and I am planning to settle down here as I love this city :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As I don't normally like touristy trips, I think CS is the best way to find out the reality of the places that you visit. It gives you the chance of meeting new awesome and open-minded people and I don't think there are better tour guides than locals!
All my surfing has been brilliant so far, all of the people I have met were super kind and interesting. CS has definitely helped me trusting more people and also believe in a more trustworthy society!

Music, Movies, and Books

I am not keen on choosing favourites, as I believe that everything depends on the mood and the moment, but in general, I could say:
- I listen to mostly English and Spanish music, all sorts of styles but focus on pop rock and indie.
- I watch psychological, comedies, drama, thrillers and even cartoon movies.
- I read mainly novel books, but I am more into audiovisual stuff or outdoors.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A hitchhiking trip around the north-west of Spain, with a friend and 3 new guys we just met at the beginning of the trip: awesome summer days!
A 3-week-trip on the Australian East Coast in a van with a friend, it was stunning and I will never forget it :)

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach, Learn and share as a way of life! Three really important words, I always try to take them to practice!

Lots of laughing, funny moments, a good conversation, some beer... And always open to suggestions!
