Hey there! Welcome on board on this incredible flight that is my life. Please, sit and enjoy the ride. In case of emergency the exit doors are here, here and here 👈☝️👉
You won't need any assistance to use them so feel free of jumping out whenever you want. Meanwhile you should fasten up. Before taking off I will introduce myself. This is Captain Estela, a former pilot graduated on "I don't have a clue what the f*** I'm doing but let's keep going" degree with 31 years of flying experience. I also have a specialization on "enjoying each little thing of life since death is inevitable". This airline has changed a lot in the last years and most people think is a little bit weird - or a lot - but that's why it is that interesting. We only drink water on board - nor coffee, tea, beer or whine - but we love food - eat it, not cook it. Smoking is not something we do around here but we won't judge you - out loud- for doing so. We have two furry assitants - doggy Wey and Doggy Mona - that get everything covered with hair but they don't usually travel out of the country -just national flights. For further information I invite you to get in contact with me on the cabin.

Thank you for flying on Estela's airline. Hope you enjoy a little bit reading my profile. It's that so you should know I'm down for meeting new people and spending quality time. If that's also your case feel free to contact me. I will try to reply as soon as possible but sometimes when I publish a trip I get more messages than I am able to manage.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I started using Couchsurfing when I didn't even speak English. I thought It was a great way of practicing at a time and meeting new people from around the world since I wasn't really able to travel back in the days. Couchsurfing has changed a lot since then. Still, it is a good way for connecting with local people and knowing new places in a different less individual way.

Interests

I am a very curious person. I enjoy any activity related to nature or creativity. I am not into "let's grab a beer and sit on a noisy bar", I'd rather walk around and talk or have some food.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've survived a worldwide pandemic
I've breathed underwater
I've flied over the clouds
I've seen an eclipse
I've slept under the stars during a meteor shower
I've met my soulmate
I've traveled on a van for weeks

“The art of not reading is a very important one. It consists in not taking an interest in whatever may be engaging the attention of the general public at any particular time. When some political or ecclesiastical pamphlet, or novel, or poem is making a great commotion, you should remember that he who writes for fools always finds a large public. A precondition for reading good books is not reading bad ones: for life is short.”

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love listening to other people stories. I offer an open connection where you can talk about whatever you want and don't feel judge for it. At this point of my life I value a lot sharing quality time with others.
