About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To find what I keep looking for

ABOUT ME

I am a Spanish journalist from Madrid and currently also living there. I used to work in New York City for a Spanish newspaper. I also lived in Denmark for a year as an Erasmus student.

PHILOSOPHY

My personal philosophy is simple: "Memento mori".

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I joined the community while living in Denmark. There I had some amazing CS experiences which led me to love this community and enjoy it as much and often as I can.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

As much as I can! This is one of the most interesting projects I have ever heard of and participated in. I've couchsurfed so far in Denmark, Sweden, Israel and the US.

Interests

Everything! I love music, literature, cinema, art, theater. I enjoy learning new languages and discovering new cities. I love "siestas" and "tortilla de patata con cebolla"!! Can't live without playing volleyball, my all-time love. I'm also a passionate snowboarder.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love every single minute of "Some Like It Hot" and "Little miss Sunshine". I enjoy good comedies like anything else in this world.
My musical taste includes The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Travis, Jamie Cullum, The Swell Season and many others... The list of music I listen to is pretty extensive. About literature, I heart every word Truman Capote ever wrote and my favourite books are "Les miserables" by Victor Hugo and The Old Man and the Sea by Hemingway.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach me! I love learning and have a great predisposition for new projects.
