About Me

ESP/ ENG

Después de estudiar Diseño de Moda y darme cuenta de que no me sentía realizada, decidí dar un giro a mi vida, casi 5 años más tarde y faltándome casi nada para terminarla, ahorré dinero y decidí irme a viajar por el mundo sin billete de vuelta.
Realmente siempre ha sido mi sueño, sólo me faltaba dar el salto.
Hace tiempo que quería ir a Latinoamérica, así que ya sabía por dónde empezar! Primera parada: Costa Rica :)
He viajado varias veces sola: de voluntariado en Croacia, sin planes por Europa del Este, recorriendo todo el norte de España caminando...Pero sin duda esta es la aventura más grande a la que me he enfrentado!!

After studying Fashion Design and realize I didn't feel motivated for it, I decided to leave it, earn some money and buy a flight ticket with no return.
This has been always my dream but until now I didn't make the move.
It's been a long time since I have South America in my mind so I already knew where to start! :)
I've travelled several times on my own, volunteering in Croatia, Eastern Europe, North Spain...But with no doubt this is my biggest adventure.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing me permite conocer a gente local de cada sitio que visito. Puedo aprender de su cultura, compartir experiencias, disfrutar de buena compañía, hablar de intereses comunes y echarnos unas risas! :D

Couchsurfing helps me to meet local people from each place I visit. I can learn from their culture, share experiences, enjoy of their company and have fun!! :D

Interests

De todos mis intereses destacaría el senderismo. Me apasiona la montaña y la naturaleza, y lo bien que me siento cuando me pierdo en ella. :)
También me interesa el arte contemporáneo, en general todo lo artístico: me divierto mucho bailando, cantando, dibujando, escribiendo...Son cosas que me ayudan, me relajan y al menos tengo que hacer dos de ellas cada día.
Los tattoos también me flipan. De momento tengo 19 pero me quiero hacer más!
Y por último, mi mayor hobby: COMER. Amo la comida. Hace unos años reduje la carne en mis comidas, hasta junio de 2018, cuando empecé a ser vegana.
Actualmente sigo una dieta vegetariana (excepto cuando como en casa), ya que viajando se hace un poco difícil comer vegano. Pero pretendo volver a serlo :)
Y no me olvido de lo que me hace más ilusión de todo: VIAJAR.
Quiero conocer el mundo entero!!

From all my interests I would mention hiking. Mountains and nature are my passion and I loooove getting lost in them.
I'm also interested in art, specially contemporary art. All related to art, really. I enjoy dancing, singing, painting, writing... These things help me to feel good and I have to do two of them minimum every day.
I'm also crazy about tattoos. At the moment I've got 19! And I still have some more in mind.
Last but not least, my biggest hobby: to EAT!
I love food! A few years ago I reduced meet in my meels, until June 2018, when I started being vegan.
Currently I follow a vegetarian life because sometimes veganism can be tough when travelling.
And I'm not forgotting the thing I enjoy the most...TRAVELLING AROUND THE WORLD!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

El Camino de Santiago. Lo he hecho 3 veces y ha sido la mejor experiencia de mi vida, hasta la fecha.
Siempre he ido sola porque sé que voy a conocer a mucha gente y se acaban convirtiendo en tu segunda familia.
Además tienes la oportunidad de caminar durante semanas rodeado de naturaleza. Es mágico.

The "Camino de Santiago". I walked it three times and it has been the best experience I had 'til the moment. I've always gone alone because I know I'll meet a lot of people on the way.
I've made really good friends and
you have the chance to walk for weeks surrounded by nature. It's just magic!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Podemos echarnos unas risas juntos, compartir experiencias , hablar de viajes, ir a dar un paseo o ir de excursión, cocinar juntos, salir a tomar algo,...Lo que surja. :)
Conmigo no creo que te aburras! Hahaha

I love chatting, sharing stories and messing around with people.
There's no boring time with me around! Hahaha :)

I'm ready for everything!
