About Me

I am a QUEER nomad traveler and a dumpster diver.

I think that's what define me better atm :D

in 2020, I quit my job in Scotland, went back to Spain and spent some time there. Aiming for a change in my life.

I got a camper van, and spent some time working and traveling around Salamanca (where my family lives). There was a lot of restrictions due to covid, but still I had a pretty amazing time there.

When restrictions where lifted I decided I want to travel to another country again! So I went on a trip to Portugal. On the way my camper broke...
I had to decide If I wanted to fix it and stay in Spain for a longer period of time, or if I wanted to travel.

I decided I wanted to travel, with my dog, a backpack and a tent.

I ask myself many questions. Always. So when I started traveling I decided I will just go, flow, see what life brings me.

I know I don't want to have a normative life, or a 9 to 5 job, with one month of holidays for the rest of my life. I have in mind kind of one goal; explore, and live in different countries, with different types of communities, so I will see what is more aligned with my values and where do I fit better.

Also, I am sure, I don't want to push anything in my life. So I will do whatever feels right in each moment.

I ended up in Helsinki in November 2021-for different reasons- and spent the winter there.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I was in University I had a very peculiar friend that one day said to me: "A japanese dude is spending some days at my place, sleeping in my sofá"

I was like: "whaaat? Why? Thats so cool". Thats how I heard about CS first time 😆

I was so into that idea of hosting travelers that I did It myself some time after at my mum's place. Then, I traveled around Europe and stay with some pple as well.

I loved CS since the beginning. I know It has the good, the bad and the ugly. But I still love this platform and want to keep being part of it and bring more joy, and love to it.

Music, Movies, and Books

This changes a lot during the same year. But lately I've been reading a lot about polyamory, feminism and also a bit of traveling and poetry.

Lately I've been listening a lot of technoooo :D Love raving, but haven't done it much lately due to coviddd

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

-First and only time I went to India, by myself, right before first lockdown. That experience change my life, that was the last push for me to be a nomad traveler.

-Got a very old van, learned quite few things about fixing it, and travel with it for 6 months on Spain (R.I.P. Galáctica).

-Nomad traveling with my dog for 4 months around Europe 2021.

-Going to Sierra de Gredos in Spain, a beautiful sunny day in November 2020 climbed 2200m peak, got lost, people thought I died, but I obviously didn't, and then found my way back the day after.

-Hitchhiking in a lorry with my greyhound, is probably one of the highlights of my life :D

-Walking barefoot for 2 months last summer

What I Can Share with Hosts

I think I can offer good company, overall. I'm very flexible and easy going. I usually like to connect with pple as much as possible, and in different ways.
I will share my life, my experiences and my heart.
I like talking about deep shit, not gonna lie 😁 But also I can do the best small talk ever 🦄 I think talking about the weather is fantastic as well.

Also, LOVE sharing food, enjoy cooking and see people happy with it.

I'm also certified on swedish massage, so I could give you a massage. And also sometimes I like to write beautiful words in Spanish to pple, but I need to feel inspired 😗

I can do dreadlocks and I have a magical beautiful Tarot, that I could read for you if we find a good moment ✨
