About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I would like to finish my Masters Degree and try to find a goog job in Psychology to ear enoght money to travel as much and as far as I can!

ABOUT ME

I am from Spain, and I am 24 years old. I am currently studying a Master in Clinical Psychology in Madrid. I also teach English to kids of the primary level education. Sometimes I work in a catering to earn some extra money.

I lived in Ireland for a year, for my Erasmus, and I really love it. In the future I would like to live outside Spain for a while.

PHILOSOPHY

I see my self as a positive person. I always think that if something happens is for a reason. I find easy to adapt to the circumstances that come.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Some friends told me about this web and their great experiences, so I wanted to try too.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been surfing four times, although I have never been able to host people yet.

My first experience was in Norway in January 2014. A friend and I stayed in a Spanish student's flat and in a local's house with his family. We had a great time with them and both were awesome and very different experiences. I loved it!

Also, in summer 2016 I went on a summer trip around Europe with a friend, and we surfed in Birmingham and in London for several nights. Both hosts were so gentle and nice to us. We spent a great time there!

Interests

First of all, I LOVE travelling. I try to save money to travel as much as I can with the possibilities that I have, as I am still a student. This summer went to Thailand for 20 days with a group of friends, and it was an incredible experience! We learnt a lot about the culture and met incredible people.

I am not very a home person, so I like to go out with my friends to grab a beer, to a night club, for a weekend trip...

I also really like going to the cinema, and watching series.

I am a real fan of gastronomy, I like eating and trying new restaurants of all kinds of food.

Moreover, I like practising sports, I try to go to the gym every week to join group classes. I found it very funny and it is a great way to burn energy!

Music, Movies, and Books

I like all kinds of music; reggae, drum and bass, R&B, spanish pop and rock, electronica. It depends on the moment.

I really like cinema; drama, comedy, action, thriller...(except horror movies).

I also like reading, although I found it more difficult for me, as I prefer doing other things. The book that I am actually readind is "Eat, Pray, Love" by Elisabeth Gilbert, a book that really inspires me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My summer trip of 2016 was an amazing experience. I went with a friend a we visited 9 different cities in 5 different countries for 4 weeks! And we survived!
During the trip, we visited some friends, get to know new people, travel by bus for interminable hours, do tours around the cities, and finish the trip in the music festival Arenal Sound!

This summer (2017) I visited Thailand and Cambodia for 20 days with a group of 5 friends and it was amazing. We stay in very diffent places, we use all kinds of transportation (tuk-tik, bus, train, ferry, plane...) and we visit cities and villages so different beetween each other, from Bangkok to Chiang Mai passing through Siem Reap, Surat Thani, Koh Tao and Koh Panghan, Krabi, Phi Phi Islands and Phuket.

I guess you can always learn from someone just talking.

I can teach spanish, english and share my life experiences.
