About Me

I've just arrived in Spain after a whole year living in Quito, one of the most enriching experience that I had. I decided to go back home and start studying a new master in Gender and Sexuality, since I think is a very important aspect of our identity. To get a deeper knowledge of ourselves is necessary to better communicate with others.
It is in this field that I would love to work as a proffesional, specially in terms of equality and women empowerment.
I am now in search of a new job and a new way of living in here, this is a period of adaptation. But besides all the inestability there are still lots of things to enjoy and keep learning about life.
I am in love with "the people", I mean, I believe in all humans and the power of love as the engine of the world. Yes, I know it sounds very hippie but i feel it like that. That's one of the reasons why I love travelling, I like to communicate with others as a way to learn and respects different points of view and lifestyles.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've hosted some people and surfed in some other couches and it has always been a very enriching and nice experience...It is an alternative way of travelling, a way where you can see a different part of the places and the persons who live in, less touristic and more real.

Interests

I like yoga, what I practice quite often cause it gives peace, calm and strength. Even if there's a wrong idea that everybody in Spain dance flamenco, I must say that I love it and I know how to dance, but I am a beginner dancer. To be honest I enjoy dancing any kind of music, specially salsa or cumbia that I learnt last year in Quito.
This year I am decided to start circus lessons. I think is fascinating and love the passion of those who practise it. I am also very committed with the nature and indigenous people and their way to see the earth as a whole and a part of us.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent a whole month in an alpaca's farm in the south of England and it was kind of strange but at the same time amazing experience. I think that anytime I travel I discover very interesting things of that specific place, something that can only happen there. I can say that there is always something amazing happening, we just need to notice it, become aware...
