About Me

I'm from South Spain, but I moved to Barcelona when I was 18 to study International Business Economics. I graduated and moved to Palma de Mallorca, Balear Islands to start working for an auditing firm.

I'm an outgoing person, always trying to make people laugh. I like to meet nice people to share experiences with, and I'm always up for a beer, a coffee or a hot tea :)

I love small pleasures in life such a sunset, a good book and getting my feet wet on the sea.

I find peace on nature, and I love to stay active: camping, hiking, biking and playing basketball

Traveling is the most amazing thing in my life, it makes me feel full and connected to the world

I can be quite analytical as I love to understand people' psique in order to make them feel safe and confident.

Nowadays, I'm starting my own business project with my boyfriend.
We are developing a platform called Wadagoo to connect intrepid travelers with locals with similar profiles and hobbies.
The locals will help travelers by planning personalized and out-of-the-beaten-path trips, so they can travel like real locals on a sustainable way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing because I like getting in contact with the local people and the real culture of a country when I travel. I like to learn about traditions and local custom, and also to meet people and make friends.

I think there is no way to get a deep knowledge of a region, than meeting their people.

Interests

I love practicing any kind of extreme sport.

I really like reading and the biggest of my passions is traveling, even better if it can be with only a backpack.

Music, Movies, and Books

Regarding music I listen a bit of everything: EDM, Indie, R&B and commecial pop (mostly in English).

Books, by far better than movies, but there are some special classic movies such as Moulin Rouge, Dirty Dancing, Grease or The Miserables, that are at the top for me.
