I am a blogger/writer/motivational speaker with a passion to inspire others to improve their lives, focusing on personal development, spirituality and well-being. I've been sharing my blog for over two years: manelblanco.blogspot.co.uk with a great rate of success and acceptance. I'm travelling around the country to coordinate a charitable cause with the intention to show that small initiatives can, in fact, have an incredible effect and contribute positively to the society. I am friendly, resourceful, well educated and well read, polite, tidy, respectful and conscious of others and their environment.

I love cooking and conversations with people.

I also do energy work which focuses on well-being and personal development if you were interested.

For the last three months I have been volunteering in a community. My last job there was to design and create 77 flags for the Summer Gathering (festival). Previously these flags have been produced for different festivals, such as Womad, Year of the Artist, Henley among many others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm couch surfing for several reasons. One, I love meeting new people, learn from others, as well as sharing knowledge, experiences and skills.

During my stay I'd be happy to contribute to the well-being of hosts with my skills and training in personal development, energy healing if anyone is interested on any of these topics, or to simply chat about diverse matters.

Initially I'm planning to stay in London for a few weeks, and perhaps set a practice here. I'd also hope to find the time to finish a book on relationships in which I have been working on for months.

I'm writing a book of the good nature of people through my personal experience. In order to do this, I'd like to meet with others. I believe that everyone is intrinsically good and this is one way to prove it.

I am travelling around England to begin a campaign that raises awareness about the benefits of a natural treatment for PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) and with the intention to found a charity for this purpose. The intention is to run a series of trials that help to find ways to reverse the symptoms in order to improve the quality of lives of millions of women. Any help and support in this quest -initially- will benefit not only me, but a large number of people around the world.

I will be writing periodically about this adventure and sharing in multiple circles, both online and in person. I'm very passionate about meeting people and creating with others. Throughout the years I've met wonderful people making me believe that the creation of this charity is not only possible, but imminent.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love a wide array of music, films and books. There's not one in particular I could choose as favourite, as I believe that each becomes a favourite in a specific time in our lives.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

As with interests, there's not one particular moment in my life that I consider more amazing than the other, but a series of achievements and experiences that lead me to be a better person. Perhaps I am particularly happy to share knowledge with others in order to inspire in them the will to obtain a better life.

I have experienced wonderful moments of joy in personal transformation with thousands of people, and I wouldn't be able to pinpoint which of these events has had more impact that the other. These are truly inspiring moments, and one of the reasons why I am so dedicated to what I do.

Teach, Learn, Share

I believe that all knowledge is universal that it should be shared with others for the benefit of the whole. I am a people's person and I learn from others as much as I might be able to teach and share. I have lived in communities throughout the years where everything is shared, from knowledge, or work to food.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm happy to share knowledge, conversation (I'm a great listener), inspirational moments, cooking and of course help with chores and different activities as required.
