About Me

CURRENT MISSION
To travel around everywhere I can, meeting awesome people along the way, learning from them and their countries, and not breaking the bank in the process!

ABOUT ME
Hi everyone!
I'm a 24-year-old journalist and filmmaker. I'm currently working at Condé Nast, shooting and editing videos for magazines such us Vogue, Traveler (my favorite), Glamour, GQ, Vanity Fair, and AD. I've also worked in two Spanish TV shows, "Amar es para siempre" and "La Catedral del Mar". However, my long-term goal is to produce committed or cultural cinema, as I believe in the role of films as an intricate part of social change. I think everyone has a story to tell I want to give voice to those who don't have one.

I'm very curious and open-minded. That's why I've decided to become a surfer! I would love to meet interesting people all around the globe and listen to their stories and life experiences. I believe that getting to know locals is the best way to learn about a place (secret spots, traditions, culture...).

I'm a very sociable and outgoing person. I studied Film in California, where I had the opportunity to meet friends from all around the world. That's when I found out I much I love learning about other countries.

Probably my two favorite topics to talk about are music and movies!

PHILOSOPHY
Living life to the fullest every day that I can!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I've done carpooling before and I loved it! I figured that if I liked that, I would love Couchsurfing! I'm excited to try it out.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I've never had the opportunity to use Couchsurfing before. I'm aware that sometimes this can hold you back from accepting my request, but I can assure you that I'm a very respectful and grateful person with a positive attitude and I would love to have the opportunity to show you!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was script supervisor in a Spanish short film called "Como yo te amo", which was nominated to the Goya Awards 2018 for Best Short Film.

I've had the pleasure to interview Carl Bernstein, a reporter for The Washington Post. In 1972, Bernstein and Bob Woodward wrote many articles that helped uncover the Watergate scandal. These scandals led to numerous government investigations and the eventual resignation of President Richard Nixon.

I've also interviewed Mario Vargas Llosa, a Peruvian writer who won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2010.
