Overview
About Me
A girl that I knew in CS told me once that I have a "Golden Retriever" personality. At first I laughed, but then I realized it was kind of true. I'm friendly with everyone, always with a smile in my face and with good thoughts in my actions. Always looking for good moments and know new nice people, and always ready to help anyone who need it.
And just for the record, yes, I grew with a Golden Retriever :)
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I would love to meet new people, to learn about more cultures and to see from other points of view different to mines.
Couchsurfing allows me to do it at the same time as I do other of my passions, to travel.
Also, I don't like the actual turism culture, where you just see the common places, pay the trendy restaurants and buy stuff. Of course I don't have any against that, but in my experience abroad I won't be fulfilled if I have not learnt something from the locals.
I'm still starting here, but I already have amazing experiences.

Music, Movies, and Books
About music, I have a peculiar taste. I listen almost every kind of music, but not every song. I am more fond of certain songs than certain styles or singers. I would say "Queen" if I had to choose a group.
I love cinema, every kind of cinema. From absurd comedies to philosophical history, going through action movies, scary, thinking, etc. (Except gore). Best film for me is "Mr. Nobody".
I like to read but I admit that I don't do it as often as I would like. My favourite book, probably "A Clockwork Orange".
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
To swim in the Artic Ocean (Norway) on December.
To backpacking through central Europe alone for 6 weeks.
Teach, Learn, Share
I know Spanish (I'm from Spain, duh) and I've tried plenty of sports and know hundreds of games, so I could teach some.
About learning... Well... I'm ALWAYS wanting to learn new things, about any topic! New sports, new languages, new cities, new games, new films, new people. I love to learn and share thoughts and points of view, that is what makes people grow.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I'm pretty good doing Tortilla de patata, typical spanish (even when sometimes I mess up).
I also have a tremendous pack of "portable table games". That means that with a normal deck of cards (which I always travel with) I can teach a lot of funny games for every moment.
Also, I'm a really good listener.
