About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Viajar por el mundo, desarrollar mis habilidades, conocer gente y disfrutar.

Travel the world, develop my skills, meet people and enjoy.

ABOUT ME

***IMPORTANT: We would LOVE to host more people but remember that Couchsurfing is ALL ABOUT meeting people, and staying somewhere for free is a great plus, so please make sure to read my profile so you get an idea if we might get along! Remember we’ll be sharing a roof for a couple days and neither party wants an awkward situation, right? It’s also important to know that we’re on the same page regarding certain house rules so please please take a tiny bit of time to go through my profile before requesting. I will probably just reject your request if it looks like you didn’t read it.

I'm 31 years old, I'm a language teacher and IT student, I love to cook vegan food. I'm passionate about animal rights. My dream is to be able to move to Europe with all my cats and dog (update: 2019!). I'm constantly looking for cheap flights and new places to visit.
I'm an outgoing introvert, this means I'm not shy at all, in fact I'm very sociable, but I like to spend lots of time alone and in silence. It's how I recharge.

I am an INTJ (https://www.16personalities.com/intj-personality).

I am very active and I love to take long walks, ride my bike, go for a swim, do yoga, or any other type of physical exercise.

Tengo 30 años, soy profesora de idiomas, estudiante de Tecnologías de la Información, y me encanta cocinar comida vegana. Soy apasionada de los derechos de los animales. Mi sueño es mudarme a Europa con todos mis gatos y mi perro (update: 2019!). Me la paso buscando vuelos baratos y nuevos lugares que visitar.

Soy una introvertida sociable, es decir que no soy para nada tímida, de hecho me gusta mucho socializar, pero necesito pasar más tiempo sola y en silencio. Es mi forma de recargar las baterías.

Soy INTJ (https://www.16personalities.com/intj-personality).

Soy super activa y me encanta caminar, andar en bici, nadar, hacer yoga, o cualquier otro tipo de actividad física.

PHILOSOPHY

Be fair and just above all.
Ser justo sobre todas las cosas.

Somos veganos por motivos éticos (no consumimos carne animal ni ningún producto de origen animal como lácteos, huevos, etc). Esto no es inconveniente para nosotros siempre y cuando podamos cocinar nuestras propias comidas. Nos gusta compartir con nuestros hosts también y enseñarles nuevas recetas!

To surfers: we're vegans for ethical reasons (we don't eat animal meat or any animal products such as dairy, eggs, etc). This is not a problem as long as we can cook our own meals. We also like to share new recipes with our hosts!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Cuando estoy en casa y tengo tiempo y lugar, recibo a todas las personas que puedo. Creo que es muy bueno ayudar a los viajeros a financiar de alguna manera su viaje, o hacerlo más largo. Hay algunas ciudades donde el alojamiento es casi inaccesible para muchas personas, y CS se vuelve la única alternativa.
Como surfer, me gusta aprender de mis hosts, siempre elijo personas con las que me gustaría estar o conocer aunque no ahorrara dinero.

Whener I'm home and have time/space, I host everyone I can. I think it's great to be able to help travellers finance their trip somehow, or make it longer. Some cities are very expensive if you have to pay for a hotel, so CS becomes the only alternative.
As a surfer, I like to choose hosts I'd like to spend time with anyway, even if money wasn't an issue, as I like to talk to people and learn from them.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Increíble! CS me devolvió la fe en la humanidad, jaja. He conocido tanta gente increíble que no hubiese conocido de otra manera, y estoy agradecida de formar parte de esto.
Como host y como surfer, cada experiencia es una experiencia espiritual. Al principio podés tener ansiedades e ideas preformadas porque no sabés con quien te vas a quedar, pero en el momento que los conocés todas esas cosas se desvanecen y te das cuenta que la gente en general es fundamentalmente genial.

Amazing! CS actually restored my faith in humanity, haha. I've met so many wonderful people that I wouldn't have met otherwise, and I'm just grateful to be a part of it.
As a host and a surfer, each experience is a healing spiritual experience. You start with anxieties and preformed ideas because you don't know the person you're staying with, and then the moment you meet them all those things vanish and you realize that people are fundamentally great.

Interests

Basicamente amo a los animales y la naturaleza, y me gusta pasar tiempo con ellos.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Mi viaje de improviso de tres meses por Europa fue increíble. No puedo esperar a volver a hacerlo. Remodelar nuestra casa con nuestras propias manos también ha sido una muy linda experiencia.

My impromptu three-month trip to Europe was amazing indeed. Can't wait to do it again. Renovating our home with our own hands has also been a very nice experience.

UPDATE: I did it again :)
