After my studies and some amazing travels I am now working and I pretend to be a grown up.
For now I live in Madrid, because I just can't let go it seems :)
I´m an open-minded, happy and positive person, love meeting new people, traveling of course, and I´m really interested in different cultures and languages (studied languages as well, so kind of a geek).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Studying intercultural studies I guess goes with a nosy interest in how people from other cultures behave, live and just are different from what you're used to. Couchsurfing is a great way to meet local people while abroad and, to be honest, to travel on a small budget. Since established in my new life, I want to start give back after being in the receiving end of other people's generosity while I was traveling.

Interests

I obviously love travelling and everything that comes with it: different cultures, meeting interesting people, and seeing and experiencing new things. I like sports and the outdoors but don't seem to have time to do everything at once (only when traveling, outdoors at least).
I love to cook, having worked as a chef once upon a time it weirdly really relaxes me. Baking is also great! ;) Most important for me is spending time with other people though, I adore my friends and really like spending time with my family as well. My new passion is photography now, to at least digitally hold on to these beautiful places I've been. ;)
