Living, dreaming, laughing and travelling to all the destinations in the world, MEET interesting beautiful souls and wander off the beaten path!!! 🌅

Enthusiastic, happy 😄 open minded and SPECIAL :D Whenever I can, always happy to meet up for a coffee ☕, hot chocolate or a drink 🍻🍹 🍷🍸 :D

I'm currently living in Madrid, Spain and working as a freelance but who knows in the where else in the future. I'm an intrepid and adventurous traveler with a fervent passion to explore the world and who loves meeting new people. I'm super friendly, outgoing open-minded and tolerant.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet amazing people and talk about life and explore their countries. Traveling has taught me so much and I have learned to appreciate others cultures. I have met so many great Couchsurfers who has showed me around or hosted me which have been some of my best memories to date. My hosts were simply incredible. I have seen so much about other cultures and of course eat and hung out with locals.

I have hosted but I have mostly surfed a number of times and once I'm settled at home it will be great to start hosting and feel as though I'm still part of the travel community.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It may sound repetitive but it has completely changed my LIFE! It's pure MAGIC because everytime is different, lots of original and cool people from all over the WORLD! I wish I had known about this site before!

They are all a real pain in the ass :) Always POSITIVE and you become much more TOLERANT!!! Everybody I've met (and I meet) in CS encourages me to travel abroad and taste the CS experience on both sides of the game (hosting and being hosted).

I like welcoming a surfers as if they were old friends and try to stay with them most of the time if it's possible for me. And yes, it can be very tiring sometimes but it's a nice reason for being tired...

So far, I have managed to eat all the huge amount of yummy pasta that a generous Australian surfer cooked for us. :)

Overall, I have grown up and learnt a lot thanks to all couch surfers that I have hosted over the last few months. Definitely, an unforgettable, priceless and unique experience!!!

PS: I have made some really good friends thanks to my couch surfing experience and met one of the most interesting persons in my life. However, I would say that things are changing from what CS was when I signed up [a while ago] : CS is becoming more and more popular, which is causing that so many new people who have NO IDEA about what is this about, are joining just trying to take advantage of the host finding accommodation for free. Needless to say, we CANNOT tolerate it, we CANNOT allow them to spoil such beautiful and helpful project. We must remind these people that CS is NOT a way to get a hostel for free, but an amazing chance to get into the true-real city through someone who's living in that city.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Living and working in DUBLIN (Ireland) is something impossible to describe and the first that I was abroad as well as to walk on the cliffs of MOHER, Galway. Amazing!!! :)

Also, I traveled solo for a few months, mostly in Japan and Thailand, though I realize this isn't so amazing, compared to others' travel experiences.

I'm a dreamer who'd love to travel to the Galapagos, hike in Nepal and the Andes, battled poisonous spiders in the Amazon, and...be bed bug free! :-)

Teach, Learn, Share

I love traveling to get different perspectives by meeting people from all walks of life. In order for someone to reach their full potential you have to get out of your comfort zone because it requires energy, determination, and courage. I have in doubt been wrong about several countries cultures when I physically explore them. I am educating myself on a new level because the education I receive traveling is totally different from learning in a classroom. I am learning to understand the world so I too, can change the world and change myself. Traveling is full of amazing memories of joy, breaking down barriers, as well as overcoming fears. I met so many amazing people all over the world. They were all very cautious and intrigued and I am always happy to talk with them.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Teach you either Spanish or English, some history and also how to play football like a pro :) Btw, I'm enjoying learning learning Italian and Portuguese. My Italian is like upper-intermediate and Portuguese intermediate. Please, feel free to teach not only these languages but some others as well.

I'd love to cook or explore the city with my host, though I'm independent if you've got a busy schedule.
