About Me

CURRENT MISSION
Meet lots of people and loads of new different places. May seem a cliché but it's the total truth! Life is so short, isn't it? That's why we should smile more, give more hugs (uh, I love hugs) and leave your comfort zone. Don't forget to eat as much as you can meanwhile ;).
In a few months I'm moving from Spain to Australia and will be my most important adventure by now. CAN'T WAIT!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Other people may prefer going to a hostel or a hotel but it's not my case. Whenever I visit a different city/country I always need to know everything about it: from the typical food to the lifestyle, common expressions, slang, hidden and wonderful places to see (those that you can't find in guide books) and so on.
That's why I think meeting and staying with locals is the best choice.
I also have friends who have done this and always recommended it to me.
I'm a beginner! :)

Interests

Can I say "traveling" or is it too obvious?

I love taking photos, drawing, painting, cinema, animals, nature, spending time with friends and family, hiking and music. Without music everything would be so boring. I also love to sing and play the acoustic guitar but it's not a thing I do professionally, just for fun! I'm just learning on my own thanks to Youtube (hopefully in another life I'll become a rockstar and I will invite you to one of my acoustic concerts).
Oh, and I forgot to tell you how much I love food. Not just eating, also preparing it. I can show you how to prepare a delicious porridge for breakfast, the fudgiest brownie or the best Spanish tortilla ever. Trust me, you'll love me forever. I can also prepare an amazing vegan version that tortilla (no eggs). By the way, I'm a vegetarian. I suppose that's also an important thing to know about me! I love hugging animals, not eating them. It's not a problem to me if you do, it's your choice! :)
I also forgot to say that I'm a really talkative person, you'll see. However, I also know when to stop talking (well, sometimes).

Music, Movies, and Books

MUSIC.
Everything. Well, maybe not everything but my taste in music is huge. If you take a look into my Spotify playlists you'll see. If it's good, then I'll listen to it ;)
When I was younger I discovered rock and metal music and that made me love music as I do nowadays. However, I listen to every type of music: indie, alternative rock, pop, classical, r'n'b, grunge, jazz... such a good mixture. Just to give you an example, in one day I can listen to Nine Inch Nails and then Beyoncé (she's the queen), The Weekend, Foo Fighters, Matt Corby, Rammstein, Wolf Alice, Radiohead, Foals, Massive Attack, Queens of the Stone Age, Frank Ocean, Coldplay, Gorillaz, Amy Winehouse, Nina Simone, Michael Jackson, Chelsea Wolf, London Grammar, Alt-J, Blur, The Cranberries, Lana del Rey, TwentyOne Pilots, Garbage, Paradise Lost, Korn, Chet Faker, Mastodon, U2, Queen, TruckFighters, Toundra, Richard Hawley, James Blake, Depeche Mode and Chris Isaak.
I love discovering new and unknown music everyday. The other day I discovered Basement Revolver, Jorja Smith and MXMS. Do you know them? You should, I'm obsessed right now! And I'm also obsessed with live music (concerts, festivals) I think it's the best way to fully enjoy it.

MOVIES AND SERIES
Where to start... I really enjoy watching every Quentin Tarantino's film but to resume I love watching films that blow my mind in whichever way possible. Some of the films I love: Fight Club, Interestellar, Inception, Lord of the Rings, Hard Candy, Split, La la Land, Drive, Blade Runner, Matrix, American Beauty, Gone Girl, Arrival, Match Point, the Pianist, The Eternal Sunshine of the spotless Mind, Memento, American History X, Transpoitting, Sev7n, The Shinning, A clockwork Orange, The Godfather I, The Shawshank Redemption...

TV Series: Peaky Blinders, Black Mirror, Mr Robot, Breaking Bad, The Handmaids Tale, Sense8, Westworld, The OA, Orange is the New Black, American Horror Story, Big Little Lies, Transparent, Dexter, I Love Dick, My Mad Fat Diary, Chewing gum, Lovesick... and sorry but no, I'm not a fan of Game of Thrones (yet).

BOOKS
I prefer cinema than books, but I also enjoy it when it's the perfect time. The problem here is that it's hard for me to concentrate whenever I read, I'm a really nervous and active person. However, my top three authors are: Carlos Ruiz Zafón, Pierre Lemaitre and JK Rowling (Yes, I grow up with HP, I'm a millennial).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
