About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Getting to know China, China´s culture and China´s language

ABOUT ME

I love traveling, that´s why studied Tourism in Spain. Then I did a master´s degree in Hotel Management in Switzerland. I love hotels, but what I most love is having the opportunity to know other people, cultures and languages every day. After some years of uncertainty in my life, I decided to change everything and move on.
I came to live to China to accomplish my internship and also to learn mandarin. It was shocking the first days (the first three days), but I feel more and more adapted every ¿hour?. I have traveled around Guangxi province and also been to Shanghai, HK and Macau but still want to get to know many other provinces and countries around here.
I am openminded and easygoing. I am willing to listen to others´ stories. I want to enjoy my time here in China and help others do the same.

PHILOSOPHY

I want to enjoy every day of my life, and make it something to remember.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would like to meet people living in my area and also host visitors in Nanning, meeting them and maybe joining them in their trips.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I´m in the beginning...

Interests

I like walking around the city and just watch what people do. I like tasting new food and wine. I like (as everybody does) music, almost all kinds, you just need to find the right moment for each. I like people's company and a good chat in front of a good coffee. I love the sun and sunbathing. I like reading about history and geography.

Music, Movies, and Books

Too many of everything to list, and very different among them, so you might think I am a bit weird...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The Carnival in Rio de Janeiro.
Sleeping in the Sahara.
Taking the plane to China without knowing when I will go back or if that will ever happen.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach spanish, of course, and a bit of mandarin (the basics to survive in China). I can also teach you to cook and to make very nice cocktails. And I kind of dance!!
