Hello! I am a teacher planning to volunteer around the world.

Lately I have been teaching in a high school for special needs students in the south of London.
I used to be an engineer working in consulting for Renewable Energies but I found out I need to interact more with people in order to be happy :)

After working in a couple of hostels I ended up in London and I discovered my vocation in teaching, becoming a Secondary School teacher.

I have always loved travelling (Europe, North America and South America, middle east), I have also lived in Spain, Finland and UK. But I am still really eager to discover new cultures and people, enjoying life while doing it.

I love walking around the city, find authentic and new places. I love to travel and learn about cuisine, traditions and music from everywhere I go.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am eager to meet interesting new people, new countries and discovering new ways to enjoy life!
Like discovering new food, traditions and everything I can

Interests

I also enjoy a lot dancing, meditating, Tai Chi, any kind of sport and of course reading.

I have also rolled naked on the snow at -11 °C (It was right after a nice and warm sauna session ;)

Teach, Learn, Share

I am eager to learn as much as I can, learning about the local way of life, traditions, gastronomy, etc....

I can share with you all my life experiences around the world and my positive attitude towards life (every problem could be a blessing ;)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am more than willing to learn and help in any way I can.
I would love to share my easygoing attitude towards life.
I can share my cooking too! I love cooking and taking part in any kind of social activity.
Furthermore I really enjoy to make others smile and laugh, sometimes it feels good a little bit of clowning! Life is to short to be frowning!
I I am a really adaptable person who likes to help people and share in general.

Indeed one of my favourite mottoes is ''Sharing is caring'' :)
