Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Trying to survive to adult life with my five cats and my dog. Also, trying to enjoy things while searching for a plan of future, I think first thing is more complicated.
ABOUT ME
I'm a 24 years old and friendly girl. I like to have fun and adventures but I also think I'm pretty sensible.
I love learning new things. I am a very curious woman and I think that it doesn't exist anything that shouldn't be known. I like sports, althought I don't practice a particular one since years ago, I don't like sedentary lifestyle (well, a couch is always welcome if I'm too tired).
Moreover, I'm an animals and plants lover, I think that so much can be said about a person if he/she doesn´t respect life. I'm not capable of ignoring an animal if it's in dangeorus or ill, that's why my animal family is so big.
PHILOSOPHY
“Nothing behind me, everything ahead of me, as is ever so on the road.”
― Jack Kerouac, On the Road
I try to laugh about almost everything. I don't know if that's a good thing or not, but that's what I do. It helps to trivialize the problems.
We are not so unique as we think we are. Almost everybody has the same worries, hapiness and desires. Having this in mind, discrimination is absurd, in the root we are all flesh and bones.
I think one of the books that impressed me more about lifestyle was "On the road" by Jack Kerouac.
“I was surprised, as always, be how easy the act of leaving was, and how good it felt. The world was suddenly rich with possibility.”
― Jack Kerouac, On the Road
“The best teacher is experience and not through someone's distorted point of view”
― Jack Kerouac, On the Road
I also love Nature, I think we should be more connected to the nature around us. At least once in a month I have to go to the mountains, it resets my mind of any trouble.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I want to make a net of friends all over the world. I think it would enrich me and maybe I can enrich other people. It would be great.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I have shown the city of Seville to Hyun Hee Kim, from South Korea, I host a german guy for 3 days, and a german man for 4 days. We had a great time, we eat tipical food, have a walk all over the city and exchange experiencies and stories.
I also stayed in Berlin with a great couple, they were very kind to us.
Interests
I love science, it is like real magic, if you know how it works you will be able to control it and make great thing! But I also think it is important to have the contact and the interest in human issues. That is why I have always had a lot of troubles when I have had to decided between science and human matters. I would like a more human science. So I decided to study science while I develop other activities like being volunteer in some organizations against homophobia, racism, etc.
I also love reading books, although I don't read as much as I'd like. A book can transport me to another place without leaving my cats and dog alone at home (although they are never alone...). Music is another hobby that makes me company. There is a song for each situation. Ane Brun, Imagine Dragons, ABBA, Florence + the Machine, Of monsters and men, Russian Red, Milky Chance, Passenger, Vance Joy...
I also like photography a lot. I like making photos of everything but it is true that when I am traveling it is difficult to stop and make a good photo because I like taking my time to make it well.
I love travelling, altought I couldn't do it too much I like the feeling of travelling. I mean, you are used to control the situation in your normal environment but when you came out there you are new in a new country, then you don't control anymore you just can open your eyes and ears and learn about the new culture that is in front of you. I love that feeling. It is like you were born again: new food, new language, new custom, new clothes, new people... When I was younger and people asked me why was I saving money I used to answer "to save money"; when I first travelled alone with some friends I discovered that the answer was not good, the answer I give now is "to travel".

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Bungee-Jumping!
Smooth over a friend place (juming a wall) while her parents were sleeping, stay the night and have to leave again early in the moning. It doesn't sound like an amazing thing, but it was to me.
Teach, Learn, Share
I like talking about everything, and in a conversation you always can learn something.
Like talking about history, nature, science, animals, travels, politics and, of course, food.

Conversations, photos, curiosity, music, typical food from Spain and random talks.
I'm also a very clean and respectfull person.
