About Me

Hello!

UPDATE: Due to the recent tragedy in Valencia we are focused on trying to help. For this reason I may not answer messages and accept only people willing to get involved.

We have a lovely place in Valencia. We are good friends here and since we have our own business and we cannot travel we are happy to host responsible, friendly and proactive travelers here :)

We love mountains, eating healthy, helping others and have a good time. We are curious about everything.

Personally:
Something I like from travelling is learning to be flexible and open-minded
Parsimonia and flow are two nice words
Our brain is plastic and so our way to perceive life!
I am enthusiastic about art, science, literature, music and the good things in general.
Good vibes and learning about cultures is what CS is for me.
My dreamjob would include traveling, helping people and connecting with them.
I have studied but I don't remember it all
Life is too short, too many books to read :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Once upon a time, in 2016, I was looking for place to stay a few days in Enschede, Netherlands. CS door opened.
Couchsurfing helped me when moving into a new place for a long stay, but also on my travels through europe. It is full full of good people.

Music, Movies, and Books

Bob Marley songs fit in ANY situation (proved)
Movies and books are in constant change but for now "The Cloud Atlas" and "El hombre que confundió su mujer con un sombrero" O.Sacks. Reading now B.F.Skinner ''Beyond freedom and Dignity'' just WOW. (never updated sorry but love books)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Summer 2016 I did sku-diving in Lanzarote (a good friend works there) and being the 1st time underwater like this, I was able to visit the Atlantic Museum, the only museum under the sea from Europe at 14 metres. Reccomended!

Teach, Learn, Share

Do you want to learn about Neuropsychology? Oliver Sacks is your boy.
I want to learn to play better some instruments
I am learning to dance flamenco! Oleeee (listen to vicente amigo, one of the best guitarrists ever, just to mention one).
