About Me

I am coming from a natural paradise in the north of Spain called Asturias, full of green, big mountains and coves beaches.

I left home quite few years ago to develop myself going through different experiences and meeting people from all around the world.

Came to Malawi in 2018 where for the first time I heard the word "Ubuntu" and I thought to myself: "How can I not stay to discover a philosophy that change your life by being a better self every day"

that was 5 years ago and today I have so much to share... so if you are around Lilongwe, I will be happy to meet:)

I am currently an InterNations Ambassador in Lilongwe which means I organize networking events for expats and local people around Lilongwe city. If you are around Lilongwe, then hopefully you could join us for one (They are free of charge, like free lemons;))

PHILOSOPHY

"Carpe diem"

You don't know where you are gonna be tomorrow so take the day and make it as the last

"It's better to regret something you did that something you didn't do"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

"Sharing is caring"

For me, that's the slogan behind CS.

Couchsurfing is not just a website where to find people to stay in their houses for free. It's much more than that. It's a community. It's about sharing moments, making amazing experiences and acquiring knowledge from people from all over the world. About open your mind and get deeply into the different people's culture.

There are a lot of people opening the door for you in this world and a lot of people who wants to get into this door. Couchsurfing gets these people to get to know each other. Isn't it amazing?

Interests

I'd rather have a passport full of stamps that a house full of stuff. I love travelling and I try to move around every time I can

Life taste better with a glass of wine!

I love sports. I played roller hockey as a professional during 9 years.

I am a cheese-lover, so if you bring cheese, you will already have my heart:D

Music, Movies, and Books

I don't have a favourite singer or album, I like many kinds of music. There is always a type of music depending on your mood.

I like movies which are based in a true story because it can teach you something. Into the wild / American Gangster/ City of God / The pursuit of hapinnes/ The intouchables are some examples!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Every single day you can do something amazing if you make your small actions count

Sharing a table with people from different countries, speaking different languages, having different cultures and religions and consider them as brothers and sisters.

The feeling of understanding that we are all the same.

Malawi. Ubuntu philosophy.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can learn everything you want to share with me and share with you anything I can teach you.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer you my time which is the most important thing i have because i will never have it back.
