About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Ser siete veces más fuerte que tú, y veloz, y siempre estar de buen humor...

ABOUT ME

I was born in Madrid (Spain). When I was 5 years old
we (my parents and my brother) moved to Zaragoza. I studied in Alicante and most of my relatives live in Comunitat Valenciana. My friends are bored to listen this story when someone asks me "where are yo from?"

I have been living and travelling alone, with my partner, with different relatives, with some friends, with a lot of friends... but the best of all is that I am very comfortable in all the situations.

PHILOSOPHY

Do not repent of the past, do not be bored of the present, do not fear the future.
Remember the past, live the present, dream the future.
Be water my friend.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The best experiences of my last trips were by couchsurfing... I've surfed with friends, in my town,close, far... and I've always learned a lot, that it's very important to me.
Also when I host, it was like travelling without moving, because people, from other cultures gave me their points of view.

Interests

Music (to play -I play the piano, the djembe- and to enjoy -better concerts-). I love all kind of music festivals (Festimad, Doctor Music, Vinarock, U-ZonaReggae, Metrorock, Pirineos Sur, Monegros Desert Festival, Osheaga, Rototom) and to dance (African, Oriental...).
I like party and talk a lot, but sometimes I need to relax with a good book and silence¦
Beach or mountain? Both of them, I would like to live in a place with beach (I miss a lot Alicante and Canary Islands!!!!) but not far from the mountain¦
Sports: running, trekking, canyoning, rafting, climbing, diving...
Travelling, of course :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Volunteering at Republica Dominicana. I was teaching a group of 10 years old children, but actually were they who gave me the real lesson. The experience was so intense ... I'm looking forward to live something like that again.
