About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I'm opening a new chapter of my life... the mission is to make it as good as the one I'm closing!

ABOUT ME

Please spend some time reading my profile before sending me a couchsurfing request!I'm not just a sofa ;)
I'm a spanish girl, I have been dancing four years for a contemporary dance company in Cardiff and now I moved to London. I love to travel and find new people, share interesting conversations and discover new places. I enjoy art in various forms, dance(obviously...) theatre, literature, music, films, visual art...but also any passion that people have to change the world a little, in any form.I've been living away from Spain for more than 10 years and one of the things I'm grateful for is to have had the opportunity to share experiences with people from different backgrounds that have enriched us both.

PHILOSOPHY

May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human and enough hope to make you happy

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I look forward to share experiences, to help travellers giving them hints, showing them around or assisting them if the need so.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfing is been a way to meet really interesting people, some of them even becoming good friends afterwards.
I believe in the generosity to one another, and also in how much richer you can get by sharing moments or days with a former stranger.The most beautiful experience I had in being hosted was outside couchsurfing, but responds to the same principle: I did an interrail trip around Europe and an italian couple who I briefly met in the airplane hosted me in their house, made dinner for me, drove me around and showed me Verona. A true experience of the generosity of people.

I learnt that laughing at yourself is one of the healthiest things to do, so I'd love to be able to teach that around.
