Bos días! I’m Noelia and I grew up in Galicia, the northwestern coast of Spain.

I’m in Australia so I’ve decided to be part at couchsurfing while I improve my English. I would love to meet new friends and show then my culture!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’ve started cultural interchange since I was very young. My first experiences were taking part in organizing an international folklore festival for many summers, from a cultural association, exchanging folklore groups from different countries. Well, I really love my culture and roots, and this is something I always share when I travel abroad!
I’ve also participated in some workcamps along Europe. One of those projects were to make a great theater performance in a small village, working with elderly people through the theater.
Other one was very special for me, working in the renovation and transformation of an old monastery into a local youth hostel. Also, I was taking part of the Womex volunteering (international music festival)…
In short, be a volunteer, joining local groups, offers to me the opportunity to contribute to a better society, specially small towns and places where youth is necessary.

I recently began to travel with my partner more than I ever thought! Thanks to platforms like Couchsurfing , we have enjoyed local experiences and met a lot of amazing people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

During my college years I was collaborating with behavioral medicine service in the local Veterinary Hospital, specially with animal shelter patients. In addition to the Ethology studies, I was joining some local and abroad internships. One of them, in Azores (Portugal) as an intern vet with Frisian cows for milk production, grazing in the hills (as extensive
farming). I’ve here discovered myself that I love to work in the countryside!

Teach, Learn, Share

My mother languages are Spanish and Galician. I’m learning English and I’m able also to understand a little of Portuguese, Italian or French. To be honest, my English level is not proficient. Actually, it is low, but I’m trying my best to improve it, so I would like to learn as much as possible. I can teach some Spanish as an exchange if someone is interested!
