Music is who I am. I'm a singer-songwriter and I recently released both an EP and a music video. However, the truth is I didn't take this path until April 2017, when I was a junior at a Business School. That is why I worked as a Business & Financial Analyst for some months. It was tough, trust me.

I’m very outgoing and I believe in the power of love and human kindness to change the world. I’m always smiling and I’m eager to learn.

Also I play at the Santa Monica Pier ever weekend!

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

My dream is to be a musician and I sing in English, which means I have no chance to succeed in Spain. That's why I have been traveling often to the UK and visited France and Belgium. I’ve played in the street, open mics, to random people, private parties,...

Now I am in the US for a few months and I want to discover this beautiful country, especially its nature!
