ABOUT ME
I am from Gran Canaria (Canary Islands) and I've studied Modern Languages at the uni.
In September 2016, after returning home from France, I decided to embark myself on a "new adventure" --> begin a master to become a high school teacher.
It is said that I am a very sociable person and that I spend most of my time smiling or laughing. I think I'm an adventurous person who is always looking for new things to do (challenges). I like sports, mainly those in which you have to be in contact with nature as for example climbing, bodyboarding, snorkelling... I'm really into going the weekends to the mountains, putting up my tent, and climbing. This is one of the things that 'take my breath away'
PHILOSOPHY
Live and let live.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
My first experience was in the Netherlands. I was doing my Erasmus in Leiden and I had a flight from Eindhoven. My Erasmus had arrived to an end and I had to go back home (Canary Islands). I did not want to miss my flight so I decided to look for couchers and I met Juan Diego, a very generous man who lived close to the airport and hosted me.
