________________________________________

My name is Vanessa, I am originally from Canada but left in 2012 for what was supposed to be an experience abroad but loved Europe so much that I never came back. I spent 3 years in London, UK, then life brought me here to Madrid, Spain where I still live.

Traveling has opened my mind and made me learn so much, this is the one thing I am most grateful in life. In fact I feel that traveling has saved my life in some way, as I only began to truly feel alive when I started traveling.

I love doing what locals do, going where locals go, mixing up with the people and immersing in the culture as much as I can. I think it's the only true way to travel.

I would describe myself as an easy-going, open-minded and friendly person. I'm calm but also have a lot of energy and love doing a million things. I hope I get to share moments and travel experiences with some of you!

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

It's an awesome way to create community amongst travellers. It's not only practical for people travelling on a budget, it's also a great way to connect with local people and make new friends.

音乐、电影和书籍

I like all genres of music but am mostly into electronic music. As to reading, these days I read books about topics that interest me: psychology, art, plant medecine, etc.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I'm probably supposed to input a crazy travel story here, but the one thing Im most proud of is my decision to stop eating meat and animal products a few years ago. It is empowering to know that I am not contributing directly to animal exploitation anymore and I feel like it made me a more compassionate person, both towards animals and humans. It's also awakened a passion for cooking. I love cooking for people and I'd be happy to cook for you if the opportunity presents itself!
