My name's Miky (pronounced like Mickey Mouse)

I grew up in a Spanish beach town called Gandía, moved to Valencia for my studies, then spent a year living in Estonia as an exchange student, went back to Spain for a little bit to finish my bachelor's and soon after that I started performing professionaly around the world.

I was living and working in Macau (S.A.R of China) for two years and slowly made my way to Las Vegas, where I've been living on and off since 2018. I'm currently working in a beautiful show, Michael Jackson One by Cirque du Soleil and living by a beautiful park.

*I don't usually accept requests more than a week or two in advance because I like making sure I'm in the right mood for hosting, but feel free to message me always*

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I see CS as a way of returning to a more human way of connecting with people, without the burden of money. It's also my favorite way of exploring the urban world, sharing real experiences with locals or temporary locals.

I love being surrounded by people from different cultures and keeping alive that space for sharing ideas that's always been the road to true social progress.

Interests

I love being in nature, especially if I get to spend a week or two on the road; but most days a beautiful park will do just fine!

I work evenings so most mornings I walk to the park and bring a book and something to write on... or paint... or just enjoy laying on the grass watching dragonflies go about their lives.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd be happy to help you learn Spanish or perhaps some acrobatics! Share stories of my life as circus performer and hear about your own adventures... or you can just be a couch bum and use my home as a place to rest between crazy adventures. Whatever flows!

Please show me your truest self. I don't need you to be the cleanest nor the most thoughtful, I simply ask you to be yourself around me. Lights and shadows alike.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I live alone in a one bedroom apartment 15 minute walk from Sunset Park (a huge park with a lake in the middle and lots of geese and other animals roaming around freely - super cool) and 15min drive from the strip, with plenty of places to eat in the area.

You're welcome to sleep on the living room couch or if you come with a friend or partner I'd be happy to let you use my bed and I take the couch.
