Overview
About Me
Hi! I'm a 26-year-old girl willing to travel the world and have new adventures. I was born in the Basque Country, but I've also lived in Barcelona (Catalonia) and Newcastle-upon-Tyne (UK). I am currently living in Santiago de Chile, working thanks to an internship in the Global Compact of the United Nations, promoting sustainability in local businesses.
I consider myself an easygoing, fun and responsible person, who loves learning about different cultures and getting to know places truly from the inside, as a local. Although I believe I'm already a quite open-minded person, I feel that the more I travel the more I'm willing to learn from others, so I can't wait to stay with hosts and live like a local!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I heard of Couchsurfing the first time when I was traveling through Brazil and fell in love with the idea of it. I have stayed in a couple of homes, but I have used it mostly to meet other travelers whenever I travel solo. Now that I'm living in Chile, I would love to stay with locals to make the most of my experience and get to know the country and its people.

Music, Movies, and Books
I like all kinds of music, but I especially love rock, ska, and folk.
For movies, I love comedy and action films, but I also like crying from time to time with a good drama.
I would like to say that I read a lot, but the truth is that I don't. However, I love reading travel and guidance books.
