About Me

I'm a nature lover with a salty heart, grew up in a little village nearby the sea.
Took my licentiate degree in anthropology because I wanted to see the world and get to know people and their cultures, ended up taking a postgraduation in environmental studies because my heart is, without question, a green one. Vegetarian. Environmental activist (or trying to be).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

While camping at beaches under the dark skies full of stars, watching moonrises and incredible orange moonfalls by the ocean, bathing in silver and turquoise waters with beautiful sunsets behind, realized that there's an entire world to see out there... but felt so grateful just for being here! In the middle of nowhere, I felt I had everything I could ask for, and getting to this state... was the best thing I've accomplished in my life. Gratefulness.
