Hello!

My name is Rosa Santana (like the guitarist surname!) and I am an industrial designer specializing in corporate image, visual identity and graphic design (my bachelor's degree). I'm from the Canary Islands, Spain, and I have spent the last 3 years working as a freelance graphic designer for different local companies which have managed local, national and international projects.

About my personal trajectory! I'm the youngest of 4 brothers, and my parents are pretty old...I really believe this fact made that I became adult faster, because there always were troubles at home, since I was a child, so I'm proud of my family and my personal situation because both made me an independent, resolutive and strong girl!

I'm able to adapt myself to any place any person....because I've trained since I was born, to find my own lifestyle and feel good!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I really trust people and the new ways of sharing the life! Life is a plenty of moments, experiences, feelings,...if you're able to share all of these with people who can return you good stuff...everything is perfect! Your happiness can be multiplied.

Interests

I really love continuous learning and "the new" in my life. I love traveling, meeting new people, new places, sharing knowledge and experiences, and giving the best of me wherever I go. I love laughing at my troubles. I love breathing fresh air and doing some sport!. I love keeping in contact with nature. I'm a surfer (beginner) who is trying to understand the waves :). I'm a musical fanatic; I can't do anything without it. I love a healthy lifestyle, moving by bike and eating health food. Apart from this, cinema, drawing, and sharing good moments with people surround me, family and friends, are some of the things I most enjoy.

Music, Movies, and Books

As I told before, I'm a musical fanatic and nowadays I'm a spotify-addicted...haha! I change my music likes depending on the life stage....Recently I've been listening to indie music, folk music, ....This evening I'm going to a local fest, here in my town, I love the music in live!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Leaving my comfortable life: good job, good place to live (Canary Islands, close to the beach!), my family and friends...for a dream, going abroad, living there, concretely to New Zealand, just with a working holiday visa....and a plenty of adventure sense.
