Hi there! I've just got back from 4 months of travelling in India, Nepal and Vietnam and now I'm in the process of moving to Sheffield. Laid back, happy, down to earth, funny (hopefully), friendly, open minded, pensive, generous, love a good chat.

I grew up in Spain and moved back to County Durham when I was 13 (I was born in Devon), so I guess I don't strictly class myself as belonging to anywhere :)

I began my couch surfing journey on a hitch hiking trip to Glasgow and the West coast of Scotland in 2015 and since then I've stayed with people in India and Nepal, as well as hosting a few people during my student years in Leeds - what an awesome human experience!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm really keen to learn about alternative lifestyles, bin skipping, upcycling, other cultures and philosophies, different culinary traditions... I also believe you get a much richer experience of a place and culture if you stay with a local, and not at a boring hotel!

Interests

I feel at home when volunteering with my local community, and take great interest in social projects such as The Real Junk Food Project in Leeds

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Now you're asking! Lots of amazing things :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I've grown up a very free spirit in Spain with my very arty/hippy wonderful family, so I guess I could tell you a story or two! I love taking a peek inside other people's bubbles :)

I can cook you dinner, give the house a good once-over, have a lovely chat and help you with conversational Spanish if you would like to learn :)
