About Me

Travelling is, like most of us here in Couchsurfing, my passion. I have been lucky enough to discover many amazing countries and places around the globe. Nonetheless, what never ceases to astonish me is people and local cultures. There is so, so much to learn from anyone!

This summer 2017 (June to September) I will be crossing Africa from Cape Town to Kampala as part of a social project (Pic & Cheers, check it out on Facebook!)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I travel, I want to discover more than just touristic sites. Meeting new people is AWESOME! No one will guide me better in a country than locals :)

Moreover, once I settle down in Madrid, Spain, I will be more than willing to have international guests at my place!

Interests

I love cooking Spanish traditional dishes (i. e. tortilla de patata, delicious!). Basketball is my passion :)

I've tried a couple crazy sports such as Sky diving (aaaawesome). Documentaries are a serious thing for me haha

But, above all, a nice and deep conversation drinking tea. That's the world to me!
