Overview
About Me
I’m from Spain but currently living in Cambridge. Sorry, everyone, but I can’t accept visitors right now! I recently completed my second MSc in bioinformatics and have been involved in various programs in venture capital and finance within the biotech sector. I moved to Cambridge after what was supposed to be a two-month stay in Oxford, which turned into several more. Traveling is really important to me because I believe that a good trip broadens your perspective and recharges your energy. As for me, I’m a happy person who loves to laugh and meet new people. I did two Erasmus programs in Italy and Germany, which were amazing experiences that taught me a lot about different cultures and helped me grow as a person.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I discovered this platform years ago because I was fascinated by the couchsurfing concept—a community of wonderful people connecting through a shared passion. It’s truly a brilliant idea. Since I started traveling, I've become more active on the platform.

Sports:I don’t have a specific hobby, but when I was younger, I spent several years doing skating, rhythmic gymnastics, ballet, and swimming, which are all beautiful memories from my childhood. However, as I got older, I realized I hadn’t played any team sports, so I decided to try volleyball. Honestly, it was a disaster—I think I might be scared of the ball, haha! Still, I'm always up for a challenge, and now I'm learning to climb and practice yoga. A few months ago, I tried cross-country skiing for the first time in Norway, and it was incredible—feeling the adrenaline rush through my body was a fantastic experience!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
My first experience traveling far from home was to Niagara Falls, which felt like a magical place to me. It was so wonderful, and I felt truly blessed to visit it.
A magical experience I had in the UK was attending the Summer Solstice at Stonehenge last year. I can't find the words to describe that night; it will forever be etched in my memory.
Recently, after going through a difficult period, I decided to travel in South America. I spent a decent amount of time in Mexico, as well as some time in Brazil and Peru.
