About Me

I was born in Spain almost 30 years ago and since I was a kid I used to travel a lot with my family. Now I'm a physical therapist and work in France since 2008 but in the meanwhile I studied translation and interpreting studies in Barcelona and California. I did some humanitarian work in Ethiopia and nowadays I live in Guadeloupe ( French West Indies) since almost one year.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think that couch surfing is the best way to travel and get to know "real" people from the places you are about to discover. For me it's an exchange of cultures and experiences, and I feel lucky about having the possibility of traveling this way, I feel it's much more authentic than just going to a hotel and meeting other tourists.

Interests

Well, travelling is the main one! My big passion! But besides that, I love meeting new people (which is also part of traveling), and I'm a music lover. And then, like everybody else (I guess) I like to hang out with my friends, go out, read a good book, watch a good movie...
