"Travelling is like writing the best way to enjoy and to suffer the most in the least time."
Eugenia Rico from my book "In the country of the cows without eyes" about India.
I am author, I write and read books, books and travelling are my life. I even write professionally about travelling for El Pais. For example

I'm rather creative and sociable even though I have a degree in Law and in International Relations. Another great hobby of mine is music, I couldn't live without it!

Couchsurfing in one paragraph:
"Anyone hosting a Couchsurfer got an earful of intense and unforgettable stories, which weren’t likely to happen to anyone spending their nights in a comfortable, yet painfully boring hotel room. After all, the goal of a hotel was to make the guest feel at home even abroad; but that was the last thing a real traveler wanted! The experience of different customs, hearing the host’s own stories, immersing yourself in a new culture; these are the real reasons to travel. Otherwise why bother getting off your own couch?"

Some wise sentences that inspire me when hosting, being hosted or travelling:

"A foreigner is just a friend you haven't met"
[Unknown]

"Travel is the best education a clever man can find"
[J. W. von Goethe]

"To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all."
(Oscar Wilde)

"If you don't know where you are going, any road will get you there"
[L. Carroll]

"A journey is like marriage. The certain way to be wrong is to think you control it."
[John Steinbeck]
Viajar es como escribir la mejor manera de gozar y sufrir mucho en el menor espacio de tiempo.
La otra forma es coachsurfing
nunca lo he probado pero estoy en ello

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfers are the last hope to save our planet from wars, ignorance and hate. I try to do my best hosting people when I can, showing the city I'm currently living in to other CS and trying to be a good guest when hosted.

Soy escritora porque amo el mundo y a las gentes que viven en él, me gusta viajar, conocer gente y esta es la razón por la que estoy en coachsurfing
