Freelancer and traveller currently living in Spain (and dancing around the world :D )

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I made my account a few years ago when I was an au pair in Italy, to travel on the weekends. Since then I've travelled as much as I've been able to, either staying with locals discovering cities, food, fiestas and unique people, or working on farms or dance festivals (I dance swing!). When I was living in Cologne I went on a few spontaneous trips to the Netherlands, Italy, and in Germany. For now I've moved to Spain, first to Granada, because the sun, free tapas, and architecture are amazing, and now Madrid--for more dance and music :D
Couchsurfing has always made my travels unique and spontaneous, and it's fun to exchange and spend a few hours in somebody else's life.

Interests

Languages--
I love speaking with people and getting to know other cultures, mentalities, or ways of communicating. I was lucky to grow up speaking three languages, and I learned Italian and Spanish by working in families as an au pair. Since I spent quite some time in the Basque Country, I also went to work on a farm there and tried to learn what I could of the language...

Swing dancing--
I discovered swing dances a few years ago and became addicted for life. I love discovering local jazz scenes in the cities I visit or live in, and going to social dances in cities I didn't know gives me crazy fun energy.

I love art, movies, craft beer, photography (when I'm somehow manage to bring my camera along in my small bag--dance shoes are always the first priority). I live for good coffee, food, music, jogs in the middle of nature and especially--jumping into the sea.
