About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I wanna eat the world up! I wanna go everywhere and live the greatest experience in life: be able to travel and share it with others!

ABOUT ME

I'm an open minded pretty easy going 29 y-o-girl originally from the Canary Islands (Spain) who's passionate about languages, traveling and living new experiences. I believe that "Traveling has less to do with seeing things than experiencing them" and LIFE is so far my favourite journey! There's always something new to learn out there!I have been living in Lyon (France) for a year and in Toronto (Canada) for almost 3 years and I would love to keep on traveling and working abroad. It's one of the greatest experiences ever!

PHILOSOPHY

Often we forget that traveling starts at one´s very own city. Sometimes you get to know better the place you've been living in for your entire life by showing it to others. AND from my own experience: you get a lot of nice surprises!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I´ve already hosted some people in the Canaries and around 30 people in Toronto (in only 5 months!) and now I would like to travel and stay at people's places for a change :D

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I think CS is the best thing I've ever seen on the Internet! CS has just become my phylosophy of life! So far I've been hosting more than surfing but I hope I get to visit more places and more interesting people in the future. Now I have a lot of new friends who I owe a visit!

Interests

My main hobbies would be traveling and photography. My biggest dream would be to become a travel reporter for National Geographic or Lonely Planet and show people how they could enjoy new places and new experiences all over the world OR to open a great hostel, the best hostel in the world! :D

Music, Movies, and Books

I love reading (I grew up in a library, cause my mum is librarian), going to the movies, painting, composing my own songs on the piano. I'm a very creative kind of girl, you'll see!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Crossing a freshly frozen lake in Quèbec, Canada.

Teach, Learn, Share

"When you are a traveler you have no nationality at all: you are a citizen of the world!"

What I Can Share with Hosts

At the moment I am living in a apartment I sublet to non-smoker ERASMUS or international students/young professionals during the Academic Year, and for tourists/young professionals over summer, so availability for CS depends on how many people I have in the flat at the same time. But, hey, try! And if you may be interested in renting for a short or long period, give me a shout, too! I am always looking for new roommies.

Countries I’ve Visited

Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Spain, United States

Countries I’ve Lived In
