About Me

Abroad until November! SORRY CANNOT HOST!!

Vegan, spontaneous, easy-going, biker, creative, anarchafeminist, nature lover and ecopsychexplorer! Wanna get to know me?

Hiya!
I'm from a very small Atlantic paradise located in Africa, but with European (white privileges) cultural heritage y compartiendo (sharing) flow, history and fleje amor (love) with hermanes de Latinoamérica... Yup! That's the Canary Islands ;)

Born and raised in the beautiful island of Gran Canaria, where I lived in until my 18s. Then, I backpacked to experience my first adventure abroad as Au Pair in the magical city of Bologna (Italy). That was the starting point of my solo travels, wanderlust, interrail, improvised random campings, hitchhiking, biketrips - and much more yet to come! My curious mind is always craving for new adventures, mostly with cool 'strangers' who eventually turn into friends in -still- unknown places ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

NEVER STOP EXPLORING❤️
Born to be running away from the comfort-zone, by unfollowing conventions and discovering new unique places, people, cultures... Just little things which reminds me how beautiful life is! Live light, travel light, spread the light, be the light ;)

I love to go with the flow and travel in a wild and real way: connecting to the right people, at the right time, in the right space. Learning about others, about the beauty of differences and similarities between us. Listening to different stories and from diverse backgrounds. Changing perspective...

Last but not least, as psychologist (or 'psyecoxplorer'), I'm also fascinated about how diverse geographical locations and cultural heritage/environment can create a lot of wonderful differences among human brains/beings. That's why I'm in love with epigenetics and neuroplasticity!

Interests

Travelling, neuroscience, psychology, bikes for life, adventure, nature, nutrition (plant-based healthy powerful food), ecoeducation, yoga, neuroeducation, mindfulness, anarchism, connect with authentic people, swimming (among other sports), feminism, gender discussions, permaculture, hiking, Belgium beers, the mistery of oceans and universe, philosophy, ideas about how to contribute positively to the world - just go with the flow ;)

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: up to the moment / mood

TED talks or any random doc with powerful messages - not much into movies. Anyway, cannot say 'no' to watch again 'La vita è bella'

"Sophie's world" by Jostein Gaarder - but any book with a good story/learning beyond its words is always welcome!

Favourite quote: "We're all a little weird. And life is a little weird. And when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall into mutually satisfying weirdness—and call it love—true love" R. Fulghum

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

-Hug an incredible wise tree💚 Thanks!
-Interrail 2013 💜
-Going to sleep by looking at the stars and waking up with a powerful sunrise in the middle of a wild beach ;)
-Falling in love with the sunrise at 3718m, on the top of Canarias: El Teide😍
-Hitchhiking from Copenhagen to Malmö, crossing across an awesome dreamy bridge under/on water with an adorable Swedish mum and her cute baby!

**Biketrip around the Netherlands -magical views, lovely company and unforgettable bike - the almost 'perfect' farewell trip of my ERASMUS❤️NL (Dank je wel NijmegenRU ;)

Teach, Learn, Share

Languages, sports, funny jokes, crazy ideas, ramdom knowledge/curiosities, veggie experiments, different perspectives and lifestyles...

'Sapere che nel mondo nessuno e' normale e che ognuno ha qualcosa da poter insegnare'

Ps. Currently learning yoga and to play the guitar, so any advise/suggestion/lesson will be highly appreciate it :)
