About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Never stop evolving "The mountains we see in our back were the ones we were afraid to climb yesterday" told me a friend once.

To explore as much as I can and enjoy every single second I spend on it.

A LITTLE INTRODUCTION TO MYSELF

Hey everybody!! I am a 27 years old girl from Madrid and living in Luxembourg who dreams to see what life and this world could offer.

I would consider myself as cheerful and easygoing although I can be quite shy at the very beginning. I love to meet people from other backgrounds and share our experiences and culture. There had been quite many conversations that makes you consider your view totally differently.

PHILOSOPHY

"Everything happens for a reason" I like to believe that coincidences exist but also all that occur to someone life might be either a reward or a lesson you need to learn in order to pursue your dreams. My solo trip was really a proof of it.

"It is not about the destination but to enjoy the journey" It applies in both literal and figurative meaning.

"Life is for the brave ones"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

First time I've heard about CS back in 2010 I was quite reluctant to the idea. At that time I was doing my Erasmus in Finland and I met a girl who tried it already and her experience was very positive.

Some years after I have heard so many good reviews from friends that I am encouraging myself to try on my own. I find interesting as an easy way to meet locals and share real experience of the City and not being the typical tourist who had been only in places were the Travel guides tell you to do.

Now I can say that I really loved the experience as I met lots of loving and fun people on the way

Interests

I love traveling since the first time I went to study abroad when I was just ten yars old! Since then I am trying as much as my budget and my current job let me.

More things I love is nature, hiking (although I don't practice it as much as I would like to), drawing, good food and long talks.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music depends on my mood, songs are often linked with people or experiences of my mind. I would enjoy old classics, rock, pop, folk to blues depending on the situation.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I made the Camino two years ago without any previous preparation but mentally and after fighting my ups and downs I completed when anybody believed me.

Many other stories could be shared whilst taking a coffee so you can judge how amazing they are.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would like to make language exchange.

I am currently unable most of the weekend but if we can manage to meet I would love to show you my little experience in tiny cute Luxembourg.
