Overview
About Me
I left Spain 10 years ago, and since then I have been changing locations to follow interests or career steps. I lived in Tanzania and Gambia working on gender issues and rural development with non profits. I loved my life but it was not the easiest place for a queer person. I now live in Liverpool, where I work for a tea company looking after human rights in the supply chain (or how to prevent the exploitation of tea workers).
My free time is spent on LGBTQ+ events, at the climbing gym or outdoors (hiking, wild camping, wildlife watching).
I travel a lot for work and pleasure so can't guarantee I'll be in - but check, and if I am in Liverpool I will be happy to host solo travelers (females or queer men preferred).
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I like dreaming about travelling far away through other travellers' stories.

Music, Movies, and Books
Music: always been an old rock and indie fan. But AFROBEATS has stolen my heart - and I am seeing SAUTI SOL in Sheffield this June.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
My greatest adventure to date was a solo motorbike trip in the Guinea Bissau jungle. Story includes: illegal border crossing through a rebel forest area, an accident caused by a chameleon, sleeping in a brothel and eating rat.
