CURRENT MISSION

After several years working as a producer in Brisbane, I've left my job to travel the world and spend time back home in Spain reconnecting with family and friends. Having the opportunity to travel for the next year or two is a privilege, and I'd love to use this time to meet new people, learn new skills, languages, and cultures.

ABOUT ME

I've always had a passion for traveling and I used to read (and dream) about it as a child. At the age of 15, I spent a year living in California, and ever since, Madrid has felt a bit too small for me. Since then, I’ve called the USA, Scotland, Italy, Portugal, and Australia home, and I've explored more than 40 countries. I even acquired a second nationality, Australian! I thrive on embracing new experiences, discovering new places, meeting diverse people, and engaging in genuine and thought-provoking conversations.

PHILOSOPHY

Live a life worth living.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m over the idea that we should always be suspicious of strangers and trust as few people as possible. I think progress comes from making real connections, sharing what we know, and taking the chance to both teach and learn from each other.

Also, while on this topic, I'm definitely not down for anything romantic or sexual, so please don't even try.
