About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Collecting Good and Crazy Memories with Nice and Funny People in Awesome and Unforgettable Places

ABOUT ME

Currently working as a Cabin Crew, which is a really cool job for a travel addict like me! I studied 'International Communication and Translation' and "Cultural Projects and Events Management", before I started working in the aviation. I always try to make the most of my free time by traveling. . I'm quite laid back, sporty, open-minded, very cheerful, talkative, curious, always trying to make people laugh!

I live in Dubai, but I'm originally from Seville (Spain) and lived in Germany for a year, where I realized how enriching meeting and sharing experiences with people from different cultures could be! I try to learn as much as I can, seeing the world through different eyes.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is short enough, so live it to the fullest and enjoy even the small things!There are no strangers here, only FRIENDS you haven't yet met :)When you look back on your life, you'll regret the things you didn't do more than the ones you did

Death with an empty wallet and a heart full of landscapes and smiles!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love meeting new people and I'd like to have an available couch, but unfortunately this year I can't host anybody, though I can show you Seville, meet up for a drink, tapas, party,... anything funny or interesting, no matter what! New things are always welcome! ;)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first experience was in Istanbul, where I went to the New Year's Eve party organized by CS with some CSers. We had a ball! They all were really nice people!

I also met up with some surfers in Seville I took them to some nice places to eat and I showed them the night life of this city. It also was a great experience and I made some good friends!

Teach, Learn, Share

I really want to keep improving my "basic" surf skills, learn kitesurf and play guitar properly. I also love cooking, so I'd love to learn to cook typical food from different countries. And of course, I could show you some Spanish dishes. I also like teaching Spanish and learning other languages.
