Overview
About Me
I´m half Spanish half English so sometimes I don´t know which country is home... I guess both of them are. I´m someone who loves meeting new people and listening to stories where food is also involved. I´ve been on the move for some time finding a new place to settle for a bit but keep getting itchy feet.
I´m a pescatarian (no meat but eat fish). I´m a big foodie although an average cook I love giving it a go!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Because it´s fantastic! Everyone I´ve met has been the best, incredibly generous. I have done it with friends in the past and people are just so kind and welcoming that I thought I definitely want to be part of this community.

Music, Movies, and Books

Have discoverd Alex Vargas´s music and Rosalía that it´s all I listen to at the moment. Also can´t stop listening to Jacques Brell...what a voice he had!
Books like The Curious incident of the Dog in the Night-time, Growing Up Bin Laden and at the moment I´m reading La amiga estupenda.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Travelled to Palestine and Israel for two months which just made me wake up and realize how the world really is and how unjust it can be.
On a happier note, last year I travelled around Chile, Bolivia and Peru. I still can´t believe I went there and hope to see more of South America in the future.
What I Can Share with Hosts
Stories, food and a bit more food, a good laugh and yoga.
