About Me

Born and raised in Spain. I still don't really have a fixed place to live (lately it's been changing every 4 months or so). What's the worst that can happen? Ending up in a couch?

Normally I don't take selfies or travel photos at all, unless my parents urge me to. And that's why there are not many photos in my profile.

I am pessimistic about the future of humankind, yet I aspire to live my small and insignificant life to the fullest, by constantly browsing cute animals and funny memes on my computer.

Materialism is a trap that I want to escape. I try to own as few things as possible and avoid unnecessary purchases, books being an exception. A woman can never have enough of "In Search of Lost Time" by Marcel Proust (I'm on my second page for the 12th time. Way to go!)

I like to consider myself a Renaissance woman, insofar as I know a bit of many things, not much about anything, and I like lying around in the nude when I'm alone at home.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

How dumb would it be if I put an honest "I am poor" statement here. I need to convince you that I'm on Couchsurfing because I want to know different cultures and love to meet new people, while in real life I am the type of person who goes to a party and makes friends with the dog.

One day I got high on Sugus and felt like stepping out of my comfort zone, so I went Couchsurfing. It was an unexpectedly wonderful experience and I hence decided to continue surfing. There ARE some interesting people out there, and I am not as introverted as I thought.

I wish I could host, but I only have my mom's flat as a stable place in the world, and I would like to keep it that way by not irritating her very often with unknown people at her duck down couch. It's a survival thing. So.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

There is only one form of heroism in the world, and it consists in seeing the world as it is—and in loving it.

Also, I can sleep under any circumstances: train stations? Checked. Light, noise around? Checked. Wood board as a mattress? Yep. 12 hours flight with a screaming baby? Hell yes.

Teach, Learn, Share

If you want to learn more about Spanish culture and Spain, I'm your girl; I worked as a guide so I can talk for hours, but I always rather listen.

I'm curious by nature so I love to discover new places, meeting people and listening. After all, I come from a region of famous sailors and explorers!

I write short stories and what I dreamt, with a quite psychodelic outcome, but only in Spanish. I can translate them to you if you want.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to (badly) hum and (not-so-badly) cook, often I do both at the same time. Tortilla de patatas is my speciallity.

A good conversation with a cold beer. That's my definition of a great evening.
