Overview
About Me
I consider myself an open-mind, positive and enthusiastic person, sarcastic as well, who likes to smile and enjoy little and big things as much as I can.
I was born in a village in Navarra, where I grew up. Then, I moved to Zaragoza where I studied Law and Business Administration and, after that, I became a lawyer, and I was working there in a Law firm. I lived for some months in London, in Bologna as Erasmus student and I've recently been working in Dublin. Since September 2017 I am living in Madrid, and I work as legal counsel in a multinational Company.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I've been a Couchsurfer before CS existed. It began years ago, by school exchanges and summer programs, when I had my first chance to be a guest, and to host international students as well.
After that, I have lived for some months abroad in London, Zaragoza, Bologna and Dublin and I am travelled enough to know that it will never be enough.
The more I travel, the more I want to do it, meet people from everywhere, keep opening my mind and senses, learn how things might be done differently, but people, however, is more similar than we thought, listen amazing stories about places to go, experience to live, people to meet... Summarising, what make me happy.
That's why I am here. To share all this things, (and my home) with other travelers and keep travelling when I can't travel.
Interests
As everybody here, I love travelling. I love the whole thing of that: spend time looking the map on my bedroom wall to decide where I would like to go, the joy and fullness I feel when I book the flights, (and I can't stop smiling), when I read the book, webs, listen tips from friends, and I plan the trip, the DAY when the trip begins (again that smile that comes from my deepest), the TRIP in-self and every time I remember it, talk again with the people I met, see some pictures, talk about it to some friends, etc
Since 2015 I have been traveling alone. And it is an amazing experience I strongly recommend everybody. I like also travelling with other people, but (fortunately or unfortunately) it's not the same anymore. When you are a solo traveller you have the chance to spend time with yourself but also to meet other people, (what is often skipped when travelling with friends or your couple).
I also like to enjoy the day and life the fullest. The smell of a coffee just made, the first swallow of a beer, my mum's food, the sun on my face while I'm walking on a cold day, bars (old ones much better), my niece's "aunt Raquel", clouds and colored skies, my moments alone, with friends and many other things
