About Me

When I was a girl, I used to hear stories about my father travelling the world. He worked as a merchant marine and travelled to 98 countries so far. I listened to him with a huge fascination (and I still do, as there are some stories that even now I haven't heard of)) and swore that someday I would travel, at least the same number of countries than he did.
At the moment I'm 24 years old and I've visited 30 countries. Still a long way to go, but I don't have a hurry :).
On the other hand, I'm a graduate in Public Relations and Advertising (currently studying a Master's degree on Online Marketing) and I'm working in a communication's agency.
I love music (you can read some of my music references down here) and football (I'm a huge Barça supporter).
I also consider that I have quite an international background: my mum is from Dominican Republic and my dad is from Chile, while my older brother was born in Greece and I'm Spanish. I have aunts living in United States (Boston, Miami...) and I can keep saying more stuff, but I don't want to be boring you-whoeverwhoisreadingthis- ;).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm in Couchsurfing to try to meet locals and experience their cities like a local.
I try to host people (sometimes I don't have availability, as I live with my parents) and/or show them the city.

Interests

I am a volunteer in a European Student Organization where I've met some of the people that I can call now FRIENDS. That allowed me to meet people from lots of cities of the "old continent" and getting to know better the Europe we live in :).
As for other stuff, I used to play judo, but I got injured on my knee so I had to quit :(.
I LOVE music and music festivals. If I can combine travelling + music festivals, I'd be the happiest girl out there!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelling alone and getting lost. It's the best way to discover a city!

Teach, Learn, Share

Sharing and experience like coachsurfing would be amazing. You got to know the culture of the other people while them know about yours. Great, isn't it? :)
