About Me

Hi there!!

After two years of working at an office in Madrid, I decided to quit my job and find other ways of living.
During the last year, I've been traveling arround Spain a little - mainly visiting comunities in the mountains - and i would like to try and visit some friends living in Europe. Meanwhile I would love to know new people from cities through which I pass.

I love nature and arts history, that's why i like to travel.
It's the first time in my life I travel alone, although I was living in Germany for two years, its never the same as packing your things and GO!
I hope it will be a fullfiling experience!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe there are other ways of life where money is not the first thing, where sharing and being generous with people around you can take you further than any coin.
I try to prectice this my own... get as many hicheikers as I can when driving, share time with places I find and host known and unknown people when I can.. and if its not possible, then try to look for some friend who can do it.

I like meeting people and having new reasons to believe on this way of life.

Interests

i'm a dancer and video artists and like meeting people and traveling!
When abroad i like to walk throug the cities feeling me unknown, maybe listening music or taking photos. Observing people and other ways of life seams quite interesting for me.
I normaly try to take one dance class from any city I visit, this is my friki moment, haha :)

i like taking cofee and talking whith people. love reading though i have little time for it and enjoy a good movie.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm an easy taking person and willing to contribute as much as possible.

I like helping at all recostruction works (painting walls, building them, building furniture) and at gardens :) Planting vegetables is something I love to help at.
I don't mind exchanging couch for ANY home work which is needed to be done! hrom cleaning to buying or just walking the dogs out!

I can allways share time, experiences and laughs with anyone!
