About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Getting a blackboard wall!

ABOUT ME

I grew up in Madrid and lived in different cities in Spain. I've spent a couple of years in Montreal and Slovakia and worked/volunteered in some others (The Netherlands, France, Indonesia, Timor Leste...). Studied an MSc in wildlife in London, lived in Amsterdam for a while (taking cara of kids, students and monkeys, all kind of the same), got a project in Uganda for a few months and moved to California to do my PhD. I have just finished it and feel free again! :D

I want to enjoy life, learn from others, and try to help as much as possible. My brain is like a sponge! Well... a leaking sponge (due to memory issues). I'm usually a calm person, but sometimes I just become hyperactive without any reason. I like it as it makes my days unexpected!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Cooking (vegetarian/vegan), traveling, movie nights, talking, thinking, reading...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Lovely! It's great having people around anywhere in the world.

Interests

Photography, good music - jazz, swing, ska, classical are just some examples (learning how to play the saxophone now!), dancing, cooking, watching movies, nature, hiking, diving, climbing, backpacking, listen to people's stories and thoughts, philosophy... It's always nice when you can do more than one of those at the same time.

Teach, Learn, Share

We can share some cooking recipes, experiences, language practice... I'm open minded and I love to have a good talk.

My memory doesn't work properly, so I'm not able to retain too much information. Nevertheless, I'll be more than happy to share any useful knowledge my mind can offer you!
