About Me

Biologist of the sea, of the plants, of the earth.... Of the world

If you want to know how is an authentic Andaluza (woman from Andalusia, but a lil bit crazy one) just meet me!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people, new places... And for sure I think the best way to know a place is beeing shown by the locals that live there, so I am always glad to contact them all around the world, and I'm doing the same in my city.
I met my best international friend here.

I have to add: LASTLY I have experienced some bad vibes in Couchsurfing ... Well as the world itself it has never been a 100% safe way of traveling for solo women (I had 2 bad experiences with guys so I had to leave their places) BUT lastly, it is becoming too much and too normal what really bothers me.

I decided to denounce 2 people because of their behavior (they clearly do not know how to treat people in a respectable manner and for me, respect is the number 1 thing that a person needs to be in Couchsurfing) and to my surprise, Couchsurfing allowed these 2 people to "take revenge" writing loooong negative comments about me (whoever that need to explain himself a lot is because of something...), even though I have already blocked them.

WHATEVER, but what I am saying is that if you do not know what basic respect is and have experienced some problems valuing other human beings' time and life... please just not consider being in this app, and if you already are (pretending to be a cool guy "traveler")... just forget about me :)

And I hope Couchsurfing's team could help block narcissists' accounts to make this universe safer.

PEACE

Interests

IMPORTANT: A leftie here! I would prefer NOT to have to share my time with people that are: Right-wing voters, Pro-colonialism (=pro-zionism), anti-LGTBIQ+, anti-Trans, and anti human rights in general. If you don't believe in equality between genders, ethnicities and/or social classes and/or think that ethnical differences can justify the status of a person/population (=racism) it's much better to NOT HIT ME UP!!! The older I become, the more selective I am with my new friends. PEACE :)
Interests:
I love going out, meeting people, try new food.... the good cooking, the good music.... The beach, the animals, the countryside.... Smoking some hash (another way of consuming Cannabis, but only when I visit Spain)... A good wine or beer.... A good conversation.. And just feel the nature or the city where you are, and connect with the people that for me is quite important.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all the music styles, specially rock, reggae, jazz, blues, r&b, rap, sartanejo, samba, salsa, Bossa Nova, flamenco, deep techno. . . And mystical music what I listen to a lot.
Films: the Figth Club and most of them of the same director. Independent cinema: Brazilian cinema; Chilean cinema; Colombian cinema; French cinema; Spanish cinema, Japanese cinema, etc. I love "I origins": for me is one of the best films ever made, so you can have an idea of the kind of cinema I like.

Books: All about history (especially recent history of Latin America/ Spanish Civil War/ The Colombian conflict, the Puerto Rican colonialism, PALESTINE, some spiritual and philosophical themes, etc.), biodiversity -plants!-, conservation, science, psychology, and philosophy; essays about feminism; equality; social justice; indigenous cultures, etc., sometimes -not always, not all the authors- poetry/ technical books about how the brain and the hormonal and psychological system work.... It is hard for me to read romances tho. I often find them boring. I rarely finish them. . .
