Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love traveling, meeting new people, learning new cultures and living great experiences. Couch surfing is such a wonderful way of accomplishing all those things.

Interests

I love doing things outdoors, such as hiking, excursions, camping, discovering new places, shopping, going to the theatre, chill in a bar with nice company or even be at home playing table games.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love old Rock Music such as Bob Jovi, The Who, The Cranberries, Guns and Roses, The offspring and more modern groups such as Red Hot Chilly Peppers, Green Day, etc. I also love Lady Gaga! I recommend everyone to listen fer new CD "Joanne". it is awesome!
I am a very big fan of musicals and I love Les Miserables, Disney Movies, Moulin Rouge, Rent, etc.
I don't have favorite books but I love philosophy books, inspirational books and also mindfulness meditation.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Come to USA by myself to study what I am passionate about, acting. I also played the European Basketball Championship with my national team Spain, and we won gold medal in 2012,2013,2015 and 2016. We won bronze in 2014 and bronze as well in the Youth Olympic Games in China.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love traveling and I would love to do bag packing in the future (soon!). I think traveling is the best way to enrich yourself through other cultures and other mindsets.
