About Me

I could consider myself as an open-minded and easygoing person.
Currently studying at university in my hometown so keen on living abroad for a while. After my graduation, I'll like to still studying furniture design, basically chairs.
Architecture, comercial pilot, designer and dentist as my frustrated jobs. Brazil as my frustrated nationality.

I come from a big as modern family. 2 sisters plus a step brother. Roots 50% Southern Spain, 50% Northern Spain from Cantabria.

I'm very very active person always into doing things at the city. Chill when I'm expected to.
Just give me some speakers and a kitchen and I'll be happy. Also a hammock.
Love the beach, I'd say more than mountain, and love the summers boat trips with my dad. I have a family house in a city between Sevilla, mu hometown, and Portugal. I love going to Portugal just for lunch or practice it (only takes 30 mins by car!)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Tired of naive ways of traveling, so that's why I am here.

Thinking out of the box!

Interests

I'm very easy going in search of new things. I whish I could have studied architecture, dentist or pilot. Also, I wish I could play the piano and the Spanish guitar.
I'm not a very sport person but I recently changed my idea of food. #NotVeganYet (So hard to say no to pork meat lol)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I honestly cannot think anything very uncommon or extraordinary but here are some:

-Traveling to Barcelona with some students that I had just met 2 weeks before.
-Being hosted by a local Moroccan family in Rabat for a couple of days.
-Going to a Hammam on my own in Rabat too
-Sleeping in the middle of nowhere at the mountains in the North of Spain at hundreds metres.
-Getting a free ride from a foreign from the city I was living in Pennsylvania to New York City. I realized he was a priest.
-Renting a car for a 8- hour-ride to get to Niagra Falls and coming back the next day.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've been working with an Northamerican company called CIEE as an orientation guide for Americans studying abroad at my hometown. I've organized lots of cultural discussions about both cultures and values
I could be your Spanish teacher!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I honestly don't think I can teach you some useful. Very open to discuss about cultural differences and showing you my love to music: Spanish and foreign (Português basically)
