I'm Shirin and the 'about me' box usually gives me mild anxiety haha. I'm the daughter of a Puerto Rican mother and a Scottish father and have grown up in a few different countries, so home is everywhere and nowhere! I live in Granada (Spain) now and work as a teacher, with a few side hustles ;). Because of my background, I find it hard to sit still for long.

The synchronicities, the people I meet, the small miracles, and even the panicky moments that you later laugh about during travels are my favorite part of being on the road.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've always been curious to join, and now is my moment. I enjoy connecting with people when I travel, and this platform seems to be the best way!
