About Me

I am a 27 years old girl, spanish, galician and citizen of the world!

I was born in a very tiny village in Galicia (Spain). I started to travel alone ten years ago. My passions are creative writing, art, photography, dancing and be around nature. Currently I work as psychologist in social services (helping young children and families). I am student too, doing a research and that boring stuff :) I collaborate also in different NGOs and international projects related with human rights and youth.
I am an easy-going, optimistic and passionate about life person, who loves share experiences, discover new cultures and be around people. Love animals!

I am always looking for inspiration, making new stories, improving my healthy lifestyle and open to learn!

“The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” ― Lao Tzu

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have realized that "the magic" comes not only from the beauty of the places I've visited but the people I met during the journey. I want to meet people from over the world, and Couchsurfing is the first step to make it real!
