Overview
About Me
(Translation in Spanish at the bottom)
I'm a huge fan of travelling and of languages. My mother tongue is Spanish, but I am an English teacher and I live in France; adittionally I'm learning German now and I learnt some Greek last year and loved it!
About travelling...Everything! I like to know all kind of places, customs, traditions, new and/or exotic food; journey by train, by bus, by donkey's back...it actually doesn't matter as long as I am travelling. I also love hicking and experiential turism, but I specially love to visit the NOT so popular places of the very turistic cities, the hidden corners not everyone knows. I am also a huge fan of art, ballet and museums.
En español:
Fan de viajes y de idiomas; mi lengua materna es el español, pero soy profesora de inglés y vivo en Francia. Ahora, además estoy aprendiendo alemán y el año pasado hice un básico de griego y me encantó.
En cuanto a viajes...¡Todo! Me gusta conocer todo tipo de lugares, costumbres, tradiciones, comida nueva, exótica, extraña, etc. Andar en tren, bus, burro...¡lo que venga! Me encantan las caminatas y el turismo vivencial, soy también gran fanática del arte, la danza clásica y los museos, y de visitar los rincones NO TAN conocidos de ciudades MUY conocidas.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I think travelling is the best way to learn, and with couchsurfing you not only get to know different people but to learn about their culture, customs, etc.
The greatest thing of having a host is that she/he can always give you the greatest tips about places that aren't that turistic, such as their neigbourgh's little loca cusine restaurant on the garage, the non turistic and non expensive flee market, hidden street art , etc.
