Overview
About Me
I am from a small town in Extremadura, currently it does not have more than 400 inhabitants and I go a couple of times a year to spend a few days with my family.
I am a respectful person, eager to learn and teach. I am looking for my path. I don't know when or where it will take me, but I will not stop trying things until I find my place. I love animals, craft beer, and going to places where few people go. We can go climbing, diving, kitesurfing, or any sport you propose. I will always want to try new things. I eat everything and I respect the tastes of others. I try to be healthy both physically and mentally. I handle the latter better thanks to traveling. I usually take my drone with me, since it is difficult to arrange certain trips with friends, but that does not mean I am going to stay at home.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Right now I would like to meet people, get out of my comfort zone, do activities that are not in Google guides or in internet videos. And from my first experiences on Couchsurfing I think this is the place and the community with the greatest variety of activities and with a common factor, the good vibes of the people who are part of this. I want to grow here within. Sorry I read my profile is still very basic, but I'm starting.
Interests
I like to travel, If I can do it with friends, even better, but I'm getting used to traveling alone. We don't know how long we're going to last in this life and I want to make the most of it. If I can rent a van even better, my economy and my work situation do not allow me to have my own yet, but when I have one you are invited to travel in it. Since I was little I have lived with and rescued all kinds of animals that I found injured in my small town, so today I feel that they continue to choose me, I have 3 cats and a crazy Husky. I like sports, especially extreme ones, but I will never say no to any activity that I have never done before, I want to learn to dance and play several instruments but my musical intelligence is not my greatest strength.
I am starting to take photos. I love taking pictures of nature and urban areas. I like urbex, finding abandoned places and, if I don't violate any prohibitions or bother anyone, I explore them carefully.

Music, Movies, and Books
Right now I'm studying while I work and I spend the little free time I have traveling or visiting the family of my choice. My cultural repertoire is outdated but I like to delve into the culture of each place I visit and do the strangest activities in each destination.
Music: 2000’ spanish pop, actual BlackWork techno, actual Spanish Hip-hop
Films: Harry Poter, The hunger games, Prison Break, Breaking Bad
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
This year I have survived Chagas disease, my first 101km race, my first national pentathlon and my first Monegros festival and I have visited 18 countries until now.
Teach, Learn, Share
I studied to be a kindergarten teacher, but I ended up doing a thousand and one other things. I can survive in almost any condition and help you find your way if we get lost. And most importantly, I will show you the good things that are in even the darkest place. We can improve our English or I can try to teach you some Spanish
What I Can Share with Hosts
I adapt to everything. I can take care of your animals, water the plants, to cook, check if there are any defects in the roof or any part of your house with my little drone. Tell you stories to keep you awake or accompany you to watch third division football.
