About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travelling and collecting stories!

ABOUT ME

I have a great passion for art. I am a make-up artist, and I like so much to do body paintings or sfx make-up. In the last few years I started working as a storyteller and puppeteer in Glasgow, where I live.

I like summer and the beach, I feel really Mediterranean! I enjoy the guitar, ukelele or any instrument or music moments. I love laughing and even smiling.

I love to appear somewhere different, and know someone new, and learning some surprising stuff :D

PHILOSOPHY

It's difficult... I will just write a phrase, not as a summary of my philosophy, but to let you enjoy it if you don't know it:

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” (Mark Twain)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have hosted people and been a host myself. I loved both!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It has always been so good! I have met really nice people, had good chats and been recommended to go to very cool places!

Interests

Theatre, performance, cinema, art (I prefer the one which is not in museums) talks and debates, documentaries, walking, cycling, running and rolling, playing instruments or listen to someone playing...

I'm passionate about feminism and environmentalism and basically any isms that help creating a better world and a better life for myself.

Tea time, beer time, coffee time... It's always good to have a chat and a drink :)

Music, Movies, and Books

"Nada", by Carmen Laforet. I loved it. And "The Handmaid's Tale", by Margaret Atwood.

I love watching films, series and documentaries. The last film that made me cry and I loved was "Pride", by Matthew Warchus.

"If I can't dance it's not my revolution"... and it's probably not my kind of music either! The band that lifts my mood more magically is Txarango.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I made a list of all the different ways people has used to call me in my life and I found more than 40! :D

(we can talk about other stuff when we meet...!)

What I Can Share with Hosts

... a chocolate cake!!! (and other things, but the cake is what you will remember the most!)

Countries I’ve Lived In

Spain, United Kingdom
