About Me

I consider myself an easy-going person, open-minded. I am interested in local cultures, history and feminism. I like finding myself in the nature (seaside, mountains, countryside...) but I also enjoy museums, art, performances.. Oh! I love having long conversations with locals, speacially old people when I'm travelling; they are the ones who are still keeping the real knowledge.

I love warm weather so I'm always looking forward to travel to the south.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am couchsurfing because I like to meet new people while I am travelling, so I can experiment more about the places in which I am from the local point of view, and not as a tourist.

Interests

  • writing
  • art history
  • different cultures
  • rock and roll
  • writing poetry
  • event management

Music, Movies, and Books

Books: I like Amelie Nothomb's sense of humour, a lot of kind of poetry authors (from Safo to Allen Ginsberg), and Lindsey Davis historical novels, inspired in Antique Rome.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I woke up one day and decided to leave my stable job as a journalist in Minorca for going to Pesaro (Italy) and I stayed there than six months as an European volunteer (EVS. During that time I learnt italian and I made friends from all around Europe.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would like to share good moments and make new friends while we share our travelling experiences.
As a spanish I can cook "tortilla de patatas", but also products from my region (Balearic islands).
I can teach bad words in Spanish and Italian.

I am not the best person making jokes, but I assure I am usually laughing!

What I Can Share with Hosts

During the summer I usually go back home (Minorca, Balearic Islands) so I can guide you to the secret beaches and I can show you the unique prehistorical monuments that are all around the island.

Countries I’ve Visited

France, Italy, Netherlands, Scotland

Countries I’ve Lived In

Italy, Spain
