About Me

CURRENT MISSION
Teaching Spanish to Swedish pupils in Arvidsjaur :) I did that during 6 years in Sorsele, a nearby municipality

ABOUT ME
I'm living in north of Sweden, a place for nature and calm lovers.
I'm learning a lot here, new experiences and getting to know nice new people, from my pupils to pensioners. I like to play boardgames, lift weights at the gym and cook nice meals.
I also like to read Spanish literature classics and I love the music from the 80´s and 90´s.
But there is nothing I love more than the north of Spain, I use to spend every summer and Christmans there!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's always great to meet new people from other countries, hear their experiences around the world, make small trips around together and cook new recipes with them.

Interests

Prehistory, Archaeology, History, Politics, Music,
Trips around Europe (I love Europe!!!),
I love to hang out with friends mostly in a quiet place outdoors, visit new villages and woods in the mountains, explore caves or so in beaches, I love also to take photos mostly without people (old towns, beaches, mountains, northen lights...)
I like to drink coffee specially with ice :)
I love to cook and eat with friends...
