About Me

¡Hi!
I'm a psychologist and educator, born and raised in Extremadura, but I lived in Madrid for 6 years.

Current mision: contribute with the things I've learnt so far and keeeep on learning!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Travelling allows me to get to know myself a little bit better, and also to get to know people from other places and their perspective on life, the history of different places through it's streets and urbanism, it's customs... And the gastronomy 🥲❤
I believe that when a local can share a piece of their town/city with you, the travelling becomes deeper and the place becomes more alive. It just makes more sense!

Interests

Popular music and songs that I can sing along, and to see peculiar landscapes and learn from customs.
I always draw what I see so I'm eager to see different new stuff to get it on paper whenever I can.
I'm interested in how us humans have organised over time, so history, politics, organizations are my thing.
Also, personal processes, theatre, cultural activities...

Music, Movies, and Books

Laura Marling, Fiona Apple, Regina Spektor, Gata Cattana, Calle 13, Mima, Bebe, Extremoduro, Lucius, Supertramp, Silvio Rodríguez and so, so many more...
I barely watch films but I like classic movies, and I always love watching movies from different countries. If the script is good, I'm in.
About books I can't tell a favourite because I read less that what I would like to and mostly academic stuff. But poetic prose, tales, poetry, political stuff, intense stuff... mmmm I guess an all times fave is The Little Prince. Ya, basic, what can I say, I don't care haha

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Learn to find goodness in people.
Learning how to teach english.
Learning by doing all the time.
Ah, and climbing in Samothraki without equipment or experience and be still alive. Phew.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share reflections on human whys.
We can have a talk peer to peer about any issues that might be concerning regarding mental health.
I can teach Spanish, English, some drawing and color basics.
I've learn a bit on inclusion and social transformation through art and zi can give you my take on it.
