About Me

I am an adventurer from Spain who loves discovering places, people and cultures.
I am a cat lover, chocolate lover, book lover, aerial dancer lover and independent films lover.

When I am in confidence I use to sing in front of people, usually driving the car, cooking or in the shower, so if I sing to you it could be said that I see you as a friend.

I have been in different countries in Europe, Asia, Africa and South America. From 2015 - 2019 I've lived in Ecuador (for a year) and Argentina (almost 2). In Ecuador I worked with an NGO focused on migrants and refugees and, in Argentina, I just survived inflation.

Currently I'm back in Spain waiting to see when & where is gonna be the next adventure.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My experience through South America taught me that the best experiences are the ones that aren't planned with people that you maybe has meet in a van crossing some boder, in a Hostel or in a random place. Being in couchsurfing is just another way to meet amazing people with whom share experiences, knowledge and dreams.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love Tim Burton and his work and I am more attracted by independent films than commercial ones. About music, I can listen to almost everything; basically all my relationships has been with musicians so I have learnt to enjoy, listen and find the magic in different kinds of musics and melodies, but if I have to choose a band Mumford and Sons will be my favourite one. With books, my predilecte genre is poetry (contemporary and from XX century - worldwide), but I also love fiction books like the Lord of the Rings, 1984, The Name of the Wind or any from south american writters.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm not very amazed about the things I've done, but a lot of people and friends have told me how brave I was when I arrived to Argentina.

I was a bit broke (of money) and I didn't have the ID (so find a job was a bit complicated), so I decided to sell Tortilla de Patatas in the streets for a while to earn money until I could regularised my migration status.

Teach, Learn, Share

I will like to learn a lot from everybody that I am going to meet in the path; thats why I want to join this community.

I can share my knowledge about aerial dancing, pole dance, climbing apart from my enthusiam for baking, photography, painting and stories about the different places I've been.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Unbelievable stories; nice meals; long night conversations about the world and life and, why not, stretching workouts :)
