About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To enjoy and share meaningful experiences.

ABOUT ME

Honest, open, curious, friendly, proactive, respectful, attentive, looking forward to learning from everyone and anyone.

PHILOSOPHY

There's always something to be learned from every person one interacts with, and there is so much to see and experience.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Some of my most meaningful travels have involved Couchsurfing.
I love being in touch with locals when I travel, it's not the same otherwise.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I joined this network during my Erasmus year in Poland, then used it again while living in the US, then had been off of it for way too long, until my little sister reconnected me to this amazing community for a trip we took to Dublin together last November. I am so looking forward to picking it up where I left off.
It's been fun to update my Couchsurfing profile, it's been a window to my younger self.

Interests

I'm an architect in love with interior design and with organizing spaces. I feel my best when I eat healthy and exercise, and when I take care of myself and of my finances.
I've always enjoyed art, film and photo and I've travelled the world as much as I've been able to.

Music, Movies, and Books

The first movies that I remember shook me as a kid were The Lord of the Rings trilogy. As a grown-up I remain deeply impressed and could watch them over and over again.
Amelie, Her, anything Wes Anderson, or Blade Runner def left a mark.
Regarding books, I grew up an avid reader and proud to say I was one of those Harry Potter kids.
Lately, Atomic Habits, Half of a yellow sun, Germinal or Anna Karenina were superb each on their own way.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I feel grateful and humbled by all the incredible things I've had access to in my life so far. My friends are scattered all over the world as a reminder of that.
If I had to pick something maybe I'd say that something extraordinary being a middle-class European citizen was to spend an academic year in a North American University thanks to a scholarship from my own University.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Real conversations about anything and everything, an interior design consultation for your spaces, and as a good Spaniard, I'll always be happy to cook a Spanish tortilla. Forget about paella, tortilla is the real stuff.
