About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To discover not just different parts of the world but different ways of living

ABOUT ME

After making my dreams true living in different countries like England, Bulgaria, Russia, China and Azerbaijan, now I'm in a new stage. I'm living in Barcelona where I teach in a secondary school.

During those years I met a lot of people but the ones who inspired me the most where through CS. Being back to my country is scary, you stop learning from different cultures. I'll try to survive though. In the meanwhile, I'll keep travelling all around!

PHILOSOPHY

Travel as much as you can, meet different kind of people, see how they live, accept other ways to live, just like this you will know yourself better.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've tried CS for the first time in Australia and right now I can't imagine another way to travel.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My ex-flatmate in Granada (Spain) told me about CS, then we hosted people and from that first guest I knew I had to do it again. Now, I've been a host and a surfer and I've met a wonderful people around the world, I've learnt a lot and I want to keep doing it for many years.

Interests

I love to assist to a rock concerts, also I really like travelling and discovering how is the life in the different parts of the world.

Also I like going to the beach

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

-Paragliding with one CS guest in Granada

-Surfed in Australia (or at least tried it)

Two-weeks road trip in Australia camping with 5 people in the same car

Studying English and travelling in Australia, Vietnam and finally in Paris for three month and just stayed 5 night in a hostels. The rest of the time? CS!!

Canyoning and canopy in Ecuador

Backpacking in Southamerica

-See whales at the Pacific Coast of Colombia

Teach, Learn, Share

I like languages, I'm teacher of a foreign language (Spanish) but I must say that the best way to learn a foreing it's not in class but in the street/bar/home speaking with natives about interesting themes. That's defenetely better than filling grammar exercices!

What I Can Share with Hosts

If I'm free I can have a drink with my guests. Also I know non-touristic places in Barcelona where I can bring you. Going to rock concerts or festivals is always a good option. Weekends usually work better. Good conversations.
