Overview
About Me
I would define myself as spontaneous, curious, talkative, explorer, travel lover, who gets involved with things and people. I love making jokes, laughing, eating, languages, handicrafts and photography.
To know other cultures, people and ways of thinking enriches you so much that it is worth to get up from your sofa and get off from your confort zone in order to discover the world and learn as much as you can.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I am going to study in Canada as part of an exchange program of my university. Since I will have the chance to live for some months in a country that I love, I would like to travel and meet places around north America. My lovely cousin, Oscar (21), is going to join with me for the whole month of September. Together, we will explore the country and getting involved in this new culture! Since we found out this page, we thought it was a good idea: meeting people who will host us and try to give back as much as we can, sharing our experiences, our culture and even our language (why not?) with our hosts. And for sure, if we can help with something you need, we will be happy to do it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Dancing and jumping around in a terrace 27 floors up, with a temperature of -32ºC wearing a swimsuit after leaving a sauna.
Teach, Learn, Share
What I can teach: handicrafts and my own language: Spanish. In fact, my idea is to work as a teacher of Spanish during the months I will be living in America. Because of that I've prepared my classes and some documents that will help in order to give the explanations. So... if you feel as you want to learn some Spanish, I'm here to help you!
What I like learning: I love languages and I would like to improve basically the ones that I know (English and French). Apart from it, I love to learn new things, so I will be pleased to learn any positive thing. Share your skills with me!
What we can share: experiences, anecdotes, ways of thinking, cooking and any other ability we have (languages, handicrafts, music, dancing...)
What I Can Share with Hosts
I am a quite open and talkative person. I like to meet new people and I really enjoy to have a good conversation while taking a nice meal (everything is better with food!). One of the things I like most about traveling is exactly that: to discover and get involved in another culture, and people is a key in it.
So basically we can do a cultural exchange and get enriched each other!
