A 26-year-old girl born in Lugo (Spain). Left home when I was 18 to study Biology in Santiago de Compostela, yes, right where 'the way' ends. Moved to Brussels for my Erasmus year and to Barcelona after my graduation and I'm currently back living in Santiago. I love traveling so I spend almost all of my money and holidays for it. I grew up close to the sea so water is my element and I can’t live without it. I am very friendly, honest and kind. During my free time I do salsa, I love dancing, it makes me forget everything that is happening around me! Many people tell me I am too positive because I do not see the glass half full or half empty, for me the glass is actually overflowing (half contains water and the other half gaseous molecules). This funny but also realistic way of thinking allows me to be a life passionate.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Some years ago I saw my friends active for longtime on Couchsurfing and trying it aroused my curiosity so I went to Amsterdam on Couchsurfing. The experience could not be better and I came with a handful of nice stories to tell in an evening around a bottle of wine.

Interests

Travelling is my passion and the reason is very simple: to travel is the best university in the world. It teaches you things that are not in the books and you never expect to learn.

• photography
• dancing
• meditation
• politics
• traveling
• history
• languages
• cinema
• diving
• dancing salsa

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to every kind of music, from rock to classic, from pop to disco music. I listen to music every time I can and I enjoy a good concert with a friend. Live music is the best thing ever. I've used to play the piano and I did 6 years of Music Academy.

I love watching movies, that much that I even have a cinema projector at home. Favourite movies: Tracks, Inception, Wild, Mars... and many others. I also love romantic comedies.

I like reading even if I don’t have much time. My favourite book is Prisoners of geography.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The highest bungee jumping of Spain.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love learning languages and about different cultures and I can't wait to do so and give my insight as well.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm happy to help anyone wanting to practice their Spanish (or Galician) or I can teach you some salsa moves. I work in a laboratory so I can share my creepy and freak experiences there.
I can make some Spanish food as the best onion-potato omelet.
