I'm a galician girl looking forward to new experiences! I studied pedagogy in Santiago de Compostela and Im currently working with an internship program in Chicago. I love Chicago so far, its a city full of contrasts and things to offer even if you are frozen during the long winter.

A few years ago i had the chance to live in Istanbul as an erasmus, which has stolen my heart, I definitely suggest people to discover Turkey. I also had the opportunity to participate in different social projects and I'm looking forward to contribute with many others.

In september and hopefully in summer i will get back on the road and explore new places and their people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

You can't really know a place without getting in touch with his people and his culture, it's great to share your ideas and lifestyles. I used to be surprised about many coincidences you can find as well as barriers you can break down.

Interests

I keep developing many curiosities about life, in a professional side I'm really interested in development cooperation and education issues. I believe in a good education as the best way to save a life. But I still have to experience different fields until I found what I really love to do.

In my free time I'm always open to experience new activities. I practised different sports in my life, mostly dance and roller skating while I was younger but some years ago I tried out surfing and I'm looking forward to improve my skills. I also found really interesting yoga lessons.
Another thing I would love to learn is to play an instrument, i have ukelele or spanish guitar in my mind.
