Hello and welcome to my space! xD

I am a loving, friendly, spontaneous, adventurous, introspective and creative person. I'm also a very lucky "happy-go-lucky" one.

I am very curious and love learning!! I think you can learn from every situation and from everyone, so maybe that's why I get along with mostly anything that happens in life or while I travel and with "all kinds of people".

My friends usually tell me I'm a box of surprises and honestly, sometimes I surprise myself too! Somehow I (almost) always end up doing and getting everything I want -and when I don't I learn to cope with frustration, anger, sadness... life haha-

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Sharing is caring. I like to think that I can make an experience better.

I feel most people is more open to making connections while travelling than while at their home city (wich I find a bit sad) and CS allows us to be always in that kind of spirit.

Interests

I enjoy a lot of things and have many interests so I am never bored but mostly I like creative, expressive things such as painting, singing, playing guitar... and I'm a bit shy about it I think because it's personal for me; I do these things only when I'm alone.

I LOVE music: going to concerts, playing by myself, singing, discovering new bands... I admire people who can play well an instrument; it takes time and effort! (I used to play the cello as a child and now I just try to play guitar and piano). My playlists are like my diaries in form of music; so many memories that I don't need to write... I just feel through music.

I also love cinema, reading and painting. I like theater but I don't go as much as I'd like to.

I practice yoga. I love and need nature, be it the sea or just a walk in the woods next to my house.
My favourite sports are water sports at the sea.

Music, Movies, and Books

BOOKS
Some of the books that I remember most fondly are The metamorphoses by Ovid (Greek mythology), Demian by Herman Hesse (I'd say this is my fav book), 24h in the life of a woman by Stefan Zweig, El túnel (the tunnel) by Ernesto Sabato, The shadow of the wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafón, The crucible by Arthur Miller, Brave New World by Aldous Huxley... but I've read many books and I enjoy all of them. If I don't like them I have no problem leaving them unfinished.

I also read children books and albums, it's a whole other world!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Amazing are the moments that leave you breathless or those that make you breathe deeper than ever; those you remember even if they were quite normal. Like a night in the middle of Ibiza when you see the Milky Way when you were not expecting it, or taking a hitchhiker and ending up spending 3 days together or just enjoying a quiet moment of shared joy and understanding with someone you love -can also be watching a beautiful sunset next to your dog-.

Teach, Learn, Share

"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you." - gotta love some Bible quotes. I will do what I can to meet your needs.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I think I can offer good conversation.
I can teach you Spanish, something about education/children related... I don't know. What do you think I could share with you? Maybe I could help you with something you need at the moment.

I like cooking and my friends like it when I cook.
