My name is Sofía. I'm an writer, journalist and translator. I currently work as a writer, text editor and researcher. I currently freelance from San Sebastian/Donostia, in the north of Spain. I'm going to be here until December 2019. I like films, books, science and art! I'm LGTB+ and I have a lovely girlfriend who lives here with me in San Sebastian (she's a chef).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Right now, just meeting people and surfing eventually when I travel. I'm also willing to host here in San Sebastian from June to December!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
So far, I've met some people through CS, and I know lots of people in my city involved. I've surfed some (great experience) and I hosted once (not a very nice experience).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I quit smoking about a year ago and, to me, it was one of the most difficult and incredible things I've done. But, for real, probably writing a novel, or working at the G20 (I saw Trump, Putin and Macron from a really short distance), or skipping two years of school and one year off uni.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach Spanish! I've actually written many books on this subject.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share 'mate' (tea-like Argentinian beverage), but if you're not Argentinian I'm sure you'll find it awful and you'll kick me out for letting you try it.
