Overview
About Me
MI MISSION
Fulfilling a dream and travelling during 6 months as a backpacker, from Istambul to the East, always to the East .... towards Southeast Asia,
learning from other cultures, experiencing the hospitality and proving that the world is an amazing and safe place (much more than the "media" and TV want to make us believe) and that people are good.
ABOUT ME
And what else about me? I think I am a very curious and passionate person. I love looking for the beauty and sense of life, and knowing more things, enjoying new experiencies and meeting diferente kind of people. I love so much those "encounters" and interesting conversations, where you can be yourself and so does the other person . Also I would like to make this world a little better, make a little good difference... I am still searching for my specific way to do it, my mission here, and I hope I will find it :-)
For me travelling has been a way of living great and deep experiences, knowing me better, conecting with myself and learning so much from others, knowing amazing places, enjoying the present moment and helping and being helped, that I think it is a great way of living :-) ... and I wish I am able of carry back to Spain everything that I am going to learn during my trip
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
It is the first time I am going to be on coachsurfind and I am really excited about it.
This long trip is going to be something I always wanted to do, and I think (hopefully ;-) that couchsurfing is going to be one of the best parts of it. It will allow me to meet many different kind of people, understand a little their culture and their expectations, and having great and meaningful human encounters.
It is going to be great meeting new frieds all over the world, and I think it is so beautifull to receive the hospitality of other people during the trip, that is going to be an experience that will make my life richer and better. I hope I can host and help back other travellers when I am back in Spain.
Interests
Travelling is one of my passions. Did I already said that? ;-) I love meeting new a different people and places, diferent cultures and all the sense of adventure and being fully open to life that travelling has.
I also love cinema, and I like literature, poetry, philosophy, ballet, tennis, sky, nature, medicine, photography, food, wine, and ... specially I love a good and interesting conversation and sharing ideas :-) (if it can be over a glass of wine, the better :-)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Going on this trip for 5-6 months, alone, and doing coachsurfing is goint to be an amazing thing :-)))) .
It is a priviledge and also a challenge for me :-)
Even if I have travelled quite a lot as a backpacker, in America, Asia and Africa, many of the times alone (really, not alone, because I used to meet so many people during the trip :-), this is the first time I will be do it nos just for holidays, and for longer than 4 weeks, so it is going to be a challenge. :-)
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach Spanish, piano and perform magic games with cards (even if the "magicians" are not allowed to explain the tricks ;-)
I would like to learn so many thing from everyone and everywhere during my trip
I am willing to share each other ideas, culture, interests, conversation, experience of the trip (and of my previous trips), etc .
What I Can Share with Hosts
I am willing to offer my conversation and experiences of my trips, and my desire of sharing other cultures and ideas, ... and also little magic exhibitions :-) I have done a magician course and I am travelling with my cards so I will love to make some magic games
