Overview
About Me
I consider myself as an extrovert, chatty easy going person, with an open mind and an open heart.
I enjoy life and I love meeting new people, new cultures... I believe everyone has something to teach and share, and I'm willing to learn and grow.
I'm a psychologist and I work with children, my goal in this life is to help and contribute to make the world a little better and people a little happier.
I'm currently living and working in Belfast, NI, but I'll probably be moving again soon. I share my flat with 4 other people so I'm not able to host at this moment, but if you come to Belfast and want to meet up don't hesitate to contact me :)
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Because Couchsurfing is a platform of people that understands traveling the same way I do. Since I discovered it a few years ago I realised that was the way I wanted to travel, the way that made sense to me, that seemed relevant and real, the one that enables you to make connections, to share what we have and what we know, and to give back when we have the opportunity.
Couchsurfing adds a whole new dimension to travelling and it makes a statement, that not everything has a price, that when people gets together to help one another and share we are innvincible, and there is nothing they can do to stop us.
Interests
I am interested in literature, politics, phylosophy, cinema, culture, sciene, enviroment... so basically I am fascinated about people and I enjoy having conversations about almost any interessting topic. I love listening to people who is passionate about things, learning from them or debating points of view.
I also like being outdoors, I love the sea, being close to nature and specially everything related with animals. But I can also be a bit of a party animal myself, and I love going out and dancing until the sun comes up.

Music, Movies, and Books
No way.... a TOP 5 (by genere) ....maybe, a favorite one, IMPOSSIBLE.
I read almost everything that falls into my hands, specially classics, modern classics and dystopian science fiction, therefore my range of favourites goes from Orwell and Bradbury, to Kesey, Hesse, Bronte and George R. Martin.... kind of a WTF mix, I know.
And it's basically the same with Movies and Music, I love Tarantino, Wes Anderson, Christopher Nolan, and listen to Reggae, Techno, Soul and Latin music.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I've walked through the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest in Uganda to stay less than one meter close to wild gorillas.
Teach, Learn, Share
Apart from our Spanish cooking (which is amazing!!) I can teach you a little bit of Spanish, or what is even more special, a little bit of Catalan, my rare and lovely mother language.
