About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Never stop learning

ABOUT ME

I am calm and easygoing. An international-minded person, interested in art, culture and languages. Love visiting new places, meeting new people and trying international vegan food :) I really enjoy a good conversation, simply lying on the grass, live music and wandering around to discover interesting places.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have met people in different cities (some of them now friends) to explore them together as well as being a guide to them around Madrid or have a drink or some food.

I have hosted a few times in Madrid, Singapore and Lyon and I have surfed a couple of times in Asia.

I mainly see couchsurfing as a means to meet interesting people and share knowledge and experiences. I think it is great to discover new places with locals :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Positive so far :)
Just a kind reminder for some: CS is not Tinder.

Currently I can't accept guests but will do again soon.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Borrow some garments from the girls and dance on the stage of a Bollywood dance club in Little India, Singapore.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a language professional: Spanish and English teacher, translator, editor...

Student: I am learning French (and am happy to learn other languages) and would love to be able to play the piano :) I enjoy learning in general so I am open to try new experiences and learn something new from everyone, even if it's just a little bit.

Share: I am vegan and into nutrition and health through whole plant-based foods. I am also into colourism, psychology, graphology and arty-crafty & design stuff (I love painting!). Would love to meet other vegans out there.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Could cook something nice (and WFPB) for you!
