About Me

CURRENT MISSION

keep busy and move around

ABOUT ME

I am half English half Spanish, 22 years old and I have lived in Spain most of my life. I currently live in the UK and I study at the University of Kent. Been travelling through Bosnia, Serbia, Montenegro, Albania, Romania, Hungary, Czech Rep and Germany this summer! I am interested in psychology and people's behaviour in a society and I also like practicing my language skills. Love any kind of outdoor activity (big tennis fan) and discovering new music artists.
I am eager to discover and try as many different things as possible. I am open minded and hungry for knowledge. Travelling is a passion of mine and I would love to spend a big chunk of my life doing so, now that I'm stepping into the grown up-world. I hope to be riding an elephant through the jungle one day!

PHILOSOPHY

Do on to others what you would like them to do to you. Grow up, develop your own strong values and priorities but be tolerant with other ways of thinking. Be confident and humble. Try to make people feel welcome and have fun!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on couchsurfing to connect directly with locals when I travel and to help those who are travelling when I host.

I believe in sharing (a place to stay, food, knowledge, time...)

And also I want to promote low cost travelling :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Still need to submerge myself into cinema and literature. I feel like I have so much to learn!
I like listening to jazz, soul, classical music, rock and indie however lately I've acquired a taste for techno and electro...part of growing up is developing new tastes!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I got on a flight to the UK in search of a job and some stability with 50 euros in my bank account, a couple pairs of jeans and a few tops, my phone and some perfume. Was well looked after by my best friend and now I've made it to uni

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach English, Spanish, Catalan and maybe a little bit of French if you're a beginner. I can teach tennis if we get hold of a racket!
I want to learn more about everything
I'll share my time with anyone! I love cooking, cycling, picnics, hiking, reading... and I want new interests to pour down like heavy rain.
