About Me

I was born in a small village in Valencia. I have lived 8 years in Barcelona, where I studied and worked as an Interior Designer. In 2014 I came to Switzerland as an Au-Pair and I fell in love with the country, so I decided to stay and continue my creative career here. I have found wonderful friends, but I keep enjoying the experience of meeting new people, sharing and learning.

I have an open and artistic personality. I'm interested in many different fields: photography, design, theatre, dance, architecture, films, sculpture, ceramic, history of art, psychology, food... But my biggest hobby is music. I'm currently singing in a Salsa Band in Schaffhausen.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The first 3 times I did Couchsurfing it was because a good friend of mine encouraged me to try it with him. I have to say that they were amazing experiences and I met lovely people! After that time I couldn't travel so much and also not able to host people. So I wasn't member until last October when I moved to Switzerland and it was the only way I thought, I could meet new friends in this little village! I love the network and I really think is a great way of meeting interesting people

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Falling many times and being able to put my life together again. I find it incredible every time.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to get to know people and see how they live. I will take care and respect your home as it was mine. Sharing a tea, coffee or glass of wine in the evening, talking about the nice things that moves us in life, that's the best present I always get from Couchsurfing. I'm looking forward to new experiences.
