About Me

I'm a Spanish girl living in Sheffield since 2007. I studied English Philology and work as a Kitchen Manager. I'm now back from my travels round SEA and settled with a home ready to host some lovely people! I'm friendly and a nature lover. I love cooking, trekking and hagging out with friends. My hobbies are meditation, yoga, swimming, swing dancing, Hula hooping, diving... though I'm constantly trying new things. Currently I'm really interested in environmental/marine conservation, meditation and yoga. I adore the beach and sea, I find it extremely purifying and calming. I love learning about other cultures and lifestyles as a way to open my mind and pass it on onto the world. I love people and how we are all the same not matter where we're from. I have face in humanity and believe we all have the power to change what isn't good. Hence why I love to travel and extend my knowledge beyond set society rules, open my eyes and help others too. Peace & Love

Teach, Learn, Share

I've got many skills I would love to share with you, but more importantly let's just share life! Everyone's got so much to teach, I love to embrace that! And also I love to try new things all the time :) I'm an inquisitive mind.

I'm working towards becoming a yoga and meditation teacher, so if you're up for the challenge I can show you how to meditate :)
