CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

Hi citizen of the World!

I'm Claudia and I can describe myself as a craaaazy lover of this thing called life! I'm very active and smiling girl always looking for as many things to do as possible!

My true love is TRAVELLING and I can say that I have this illness that makes you feel like a junkie... I'm always trying to find the way to travel as much as my energy and money can.

I was born in Seville, one of the most beautiful cities of Southern Spain, but moved very soon to Cordoba, a lovely village in Andalusia that you should visit as soon as possible! I've also lived in Budapest (Hungary) that started to be my favorite city in Europe, Madrid and Manila in the Philippines.

The Philippines is just my perfect country in the World and I spent a whole year working-travelling and fell in love with the culture, the people, the food, the sea and the palm trees. I was lucky to come back and enjoy it for more than 5 months :)

SCUBA-DIVING is one of my passions. I'm now a Advaced Open Water but my very close intentions are to become professional diver. I truly belive that we are missing a whole world that is located down there!

I used to live in Madrid working in a job that I did not like so I decided to quit and start the trip I always wanted to do: I bought a one-way ticket to Bangkok and I just planning to do what I want & where I want ;) Check my new blog (in Spanish) about the adventure: www.soloida.com

I'm a slow traveler. I don't like to rush and I love to have time to feel the vibe of a place. I also work online as a travel writer and creator of SEO content so I need to stop sometimes at places since I need to write.

I'm a happy person that loves to meet new people and laugh. I consider myself very easy-going and open-minded so you can bring me everywhere!

I love NATURE, yes, I love animals and palm trees. I'm a huge fan of dogs and I can't resist myself to a cute puppy!

I also love LANGUAGES! I started to learn Brazilian Portuguese on my own because I just loved the accent and I want to live in Brazil in the future (don't ask my why, I just feel it!)

I'm an ASIA lover. Really, I don't know what's going on with me but I'm always picturing myself in one Asian country living in a palm tree shade...

Finally, I'm a passionate FOODIE!I will always try EVEYTHING! but one of my worst perditions are burgers!!!!

PHILOSOPHY

Your life is just yours so, live it the way you want to do it!!!!!

I don't want any trouble, I just want to be happy and try to give as much as love as possible to the world!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I currently do not have a big couch but I am looking forward to meet new people, to chat, to travel...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Interests

I'm interested in LIFE! I want to know people, their culture, the way they life and their passions in life.

Besides, I love photography, scuba-diving, nature, books, food, TRAVEL!

I'm definitely a BEACH girl. I love sunrises, sunsets and dinners at the beach, really, I can say that I will be 24 hours on the beach!

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm not very keen on movies but I love TV shows! I've watched all the big ones (Lost, Dexter, Breaking Bad...) but I'm also a cheesy girl and love to watch any cheesy show like Glee, 90201 and this kind of "rubbish" :_)

I really like Brazilian music, bossa nova is just through my veins! I also love African music, it brings me lovely memories of Africa :-) Anyway, I can dance (and you'll see me do it!) ANYTHING!

I can devour any book because I love reading but my favorite ones are travel books. I'm a "Into the wild" lover for example ;)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I swam with whale sharks in the Philippines, crossed a strait in a small boat also in the Philippines, slept with the weirdest people with no tent in an Indian desert...
I love doing the craziest things but I think the "craziest" thing to do is just to come...

Teach, Learn, Share

I looooooooove learning new things! I'd like to learn how to cook since I'm not very proud of my skills... Anyway, I can teach how to cook a decent Spanish tortilla :-)

I'm a patient person so I think I can show you how to speak Spanish and Brazilian from zero or at least to say a few basic words.
