About Me

I have been living/traveling since I started university thanks to several exchange programs, internships and all the people I met on the way. Now, I am graduated in Business Administration and Master degree in Developlemt Cooperation, most interested about social economics, social transformation, feminisms...

Currently doing my PhD in Development Cooperation, back in Spain. I have lived in London and India for 2 summers, France for a year, Honduras for 5 months, USA for other 5 and at the refugee camps in Western Sahara.
I love challenging myself during the process of meeting new cultures and people and adapting to different environments... I love getting out of my comfort zone and learn from it! I enjoy talking and learning new ways to do or see things, listening and understanding different ideas.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people and I think the best way to get to know a city/country is to live their reality, walk around, go to bars, markets,and live like locals do even if it is just for a weekend. That's my idea of traveling and I think couchsurfing could be the perfect community to do so.

Interests

I love moving. I'm always up to do any sport or activity, go for a ride, a run, or skate. I play waterpolo since I'm 17 and I was a swimmer for 7 years. I love surfing, skating and I am always riding my bike. Bikes and streetart are kind of my passion, but I love playing guitar, sing and I really enjoy having some beers with my friends, talk or just chill. I also like cinema, photography and tattoos. I enjoy political and philosophical conversations, thinking about how to reach a real change for society....I do love traveling, so I am always thinking about where to go next!!! I'm so good on low budget trips!

Music, Movies, and Books

Trainspotting, Pulp Fiction, Little Miss Sunshine, Django, Seven, the Fight Club, The shining, Into de Wild, Memento, Inception, inglorious bastards, and a bunch of spanish and alternative movies.

Music... everything that is made with soul and not to make money. Spanish rock, rap, everything acoustic, travel and chill music, rumba... I also love dancing!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

54h-trip in an non-AC indian train, get lost in scary London streets, surf with dolphins in Florida...

Teach, Learn, Share

Experience if my trips around the world, what I learned from other cultures, how to play guitar, some surf and skate basics, Spanish language, how to cook Tortilla de patata, swim...

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am really clean and try to respect everyone's space and adapt to any home rules that you guys have. I enjoy cooking and having beers or wine so I can offer a good night talk, walk, or any help you need for whatever.
