CURRENT MISSION

Trying to find my way in this world after being studying and working for a lot of years want to enjoy just the moment.

ABOUT ME

I was born in Bilbao where i spent the first 18 years. I´m the oldest of three sisters (María, Marta e Irma) and one brother (José). I have eight little nephews and cause we all love eating and drinking we have food-meetings (jornadas gastronómicas) every month. We are very close. My parents live in Bilbao like i do now.
I used to be the traveller of my family, travelling every year when i was younger. Travel, work and study year after year. I love cycling and trecking (with my dogs)and need to see the sea as much as i can.
Four years after finished my doctorate i began working in Madrid.
Last nine years in Tenerife, Canary Islands. Now back in Bilbao

PHILOSOPHY

I think i´m just a good person, with very clear and strong ideals. The ones my parents leave to all my sisters and brother. That´s why we have a very good relationship. Be honest, respectful and trustworthy with everyone.
I feel that we all live in the same world and we are all equal so we must try everyday to improve life conditions for everyone. Sometimes i feel sad when i see so many bad things happening where i live (envy, corruption, racism) but i think most of us are good people.
Life is wonderful, let´s live it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

all my experiences have been giving accomodation to other couchsurfers. All very good. Even when i´m tired or ill the people who came here give me something. Hope i can give so much when i visit other homes.

I like people who cook and prepare dishes from their countriesÑ people who can stay at home listening to music, reading, talking, sharing good moments.

In Tenerife i had some bad experiences with people who use my flat as a place just to sleep and save money to go somewhere else. I´m not a teenager anymore and i need some respect.
