Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To explore more areas and direct my energy and passion for life. "Happiness is a Journey, not a Destination!"
ABOUT ME
📍 Location: Murcia , Spain 🇪🇸
📆 Until: June 06, 2022
I'm a crazy ass acrobat who loves to dance. I appreciate life and everything that comes with it. I value people, relationships and growth. I thought 2015 was a good time to settle down and study for a few years but I got bored so I started working as a math teacher and then traveled again . Previous years I was living in California, backpacking through Asia and then ended up staying in Australia for two months working on an avocado farm. I returned to Oz 2017-18 living in Adelaide.
I'm now traveling again, after 2 long years in Stockholm 🇸🇪
Next stop is living as a nomad again, working on farms. Need a mental break from stress and carrier in a city.
PHILOSOPHY
It's all about where you focus your energy and how you react to what you discover.
I'm currently thriving on a vegan lifestyle sustained by as much fruit as I want to eat. Aka. Fruitarian, HCLF, RT4, crazy fruit person, salad eating-spiritual driven-protein depleted-wannabe hippie. Cuz what else would you call me? Compassionate? Lol. Please don't assume that my choices have anything to do with how I perceive you and anyone else.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I do what I can, based on my values towards positive principles.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I was always "surfing" on our livingroom couch when I was younger but stopped, when it broke, and mom got mad, very mad, but now everything is good.
I started using CS when backpacking trough Asia and realized that meeting Couchsurfers was more fun than all the other stuff we did so that became our main goal when traveling.
I came to southern California to explore before I started school. I ended up visiting and staying with CSers for a whole month riding around on my scooter from Oceanside-San Diego-North Hollywood-Corona-Oceanside (and everything between).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I taught show-choir to German male prisoners in just two days. Dealing with the idea that the two people dancing next to me have murdered or raped another person and yet still treat them with an open mind and a judgment-free attitude. I also saw an American high school girl walk with her head high just because we allowed her to discover what dance and music can do to her whole school. Now she knows that nothing can stop her from passing that experience on to everyone she meets.
Teach, Learn, Share
Always be a student. Even when your teaching.
"The best teacher is the student who shares his/her knowledge"
"I strengthen myself to elevate others"
What I Can Share with Hosts
If you want, and only if you ask. I can teach you how to do a backflip, how to cook healthy vegan food, how to say kind words in Swedish, how to juggle with onions without crying, everything you need to know about Mac computer (or any Apple product), how to dance in places where you shouldn't, and how to get discounts on everything you buy. Oh, and I'm really good at hugging people.
