ABOUT ME
Okay, let's see. These last four years have been a very formative process for me. Having lived in three different countries with very different people has enriched me so much. I understood (part of) what I want, live more in contact with nature and animals, far from society and surrounded by (maybe few) people I love! SO no TV, no career, no luxury..eheheh.. of course the HOW to realise such a simple dream is still a work in progress! eheh One year ago I finished my master degree in Gender Studies (what? just google it!), which was very cool and has been part of my personal growth as a person born as a "woman" (not enough to google it!). But unfortunatly i was so fed up with academia, boring/stupid structure... so in the past 10 months I've been reconnecting with nature and tryed out what is really like to live in a farm, or community or centre of activities in the middle of nowhere. Wwoofing!! I'll be more than happy to share with you my experiences! and if you share the same dreams and doubts, contact me!!!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Ah! This year I've hosted many many people, but more "spontaneously" let's say: friends, friends of friends, or people who just crossed our path and couch in some particular moments! It's only recently that I've become interested in couchsurfing, since I met many people with wonderful experiences! So I'll be now travelling but as soon as I'll have a stable place to stay, I'll host as well! I do believe in the importance of shared interests for hosting and being hosted!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I saw a sunset twice in a day in a plane from London to Malaga! AMAZING!
I met wonderful people, this is what count the most: the greatest happiness is when it's shared!
I helped to build an ecological house (you can do it with your own hands!!) and a compost heating yeah! this last one you can have a look and get an idea in here:

Teach, Learn, Share
I can do creative things with recycled stuff (milk cartons, newspapers, bottles), so I can teach you!
After 24 years I finally understood that every person is very very different from each other, might have a different scale of values and even ways of thinking, reasoning. So we should never assume that what is right for us is right as well for the other people. We'd better ask, talk, feel and always try to think from the other person's point of view, depending on their experiences, position in the world etc. Not sure I could express it well here, so we'd better discuss this when we meet! :)
