About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travelling, never stop studying, teaching, living abroad.
My current state is travelling through Mexico for 4 months (September-December 2018 followed by who-knows-how-many-months of working in Merida, Yucatan as what I like most: teaching Spanish. That means I will be in America for long.

ABOUT ME

I'm Spanish, I'm from the south of Spain and I studied Translation & Interpreting in Granada and a Master's Degree in Teaching Spanish as Foreign Language in Salamanca.
Since I got the chance I started traveling and living abroad. The first time I moved to a foreign country was when I was 18: England for a year as an exchange student. I never stopped. Then it came France, Belgium, Russia and Costa Rica as a Spanish teacher.

I fell in love with Latin America the very first day I arrived and I didnt want to leave ever again.

I love travelling and learning new languages and cultures.
Sharing, helping, teaching, meeting people.
I love photography.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

What's the point of booking a hotel if you can stay with a local?
I've had several couchsurfing experiences and they all were great. It's an amazing way of meeting new people.
If I host couchsurfers I don't want just to offer them a free couch. I want to spend time with them and show them around.

That's why, if possible, I don't want to be just hosted. I want to spend time with people that knows the city I'm visiting.

Interests

I would say that travelling is my main hobby. Discovering new places and meeting new people. Also languages. But not only foreigners. I'm a Spanish teacher and my favorite field is dialects. I just love the fact that my language has so many different ways of speaking it depending on where you are from. My goal is to learn as much as I can about the way Spanish is spoken in every Spanish-speaking country. Im even starting my andaluz-mexicano-chileno-colombiano-costarricense dictionary :)

I love lots of kinds of music, books and films. Currently I'm into Latin-American literature.
