Overview
About Me
I'm open minded, laid-back and happy. I'm up for exploring new places (or showing my favourite ones to my guests), meeting interesting people and connecting through good conversations. That's one of the reasons why I enjoy doing Couchsurfing. When I travel I'm happier discovering places thanks to my host's recommendations and company, if they're free to join me. I'm into art, music, films, plays, literature and cooking.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Couchsurfing helps us connect with different kinds of people who are special and unique in their own way. When I travel I'm happier discovering places thanks to my host's recommendations and company, if they're free to join me. I enjoy sharing with my guests and showing them around in Madrid, as well.
Interests
Music! I'm usually up for gigs, bars/clubs, dancing or just chilling out listening to good music. I do art and also enjoy seeing it at galleries and museums. I'm into films and independent theatre too. I love cooking and eating. I'm interested in documentaries, books and anything about philosophy, sociology and psychology. Water sports, climbing, hiking or even just contemplating nature make me very happy.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I rescued my dog in Venezuela (she was a stray dog). 3 years later I moved to London and brought her with me (had to do tons of paperwork). In June 2018 Mia and I moved to Madrid. My dog Mia is a family member and she'll always live with me, wherever I go.
Teach, Learn, Share
I'd be happy to teach you Spanish (it's my native language), or English (I went to university in the US and recently lived/worked in London for two years). We can do some art together and have fun experimenting. I love cooking and I'm always happy to cook delicious and healthy meals (I'm vegetarian/pescatarian).
What I Can Share with Hosts
Positive vibes and my company to have interesting talks, some laughter and fun! I love cooking and I'm always happy to cook. We can do some art together and have fun experimenting.
