About Me

I'm an open-minded spanish girl. You probably should know that I'm so shy, but once we get a little familiar there will be no problem and I'll be able to communicate with you with total fluency. I love listening to what people have to say.
I still have a lot to discover about myself and about my personality, and that's why I can not define myself at all, but I can say that all those who know me agree that I am a very mature, sensitive, kind, honest, respectful and funny person, and also that I am the right person to have a deep and interesting conversation.
I shouldn't need to say the following things since there's a lot of open minded persons on this web, but just in case:
• If you're "fatphobic" ( fatphobia is the fear or dislike toward fat people) I'm not your guest/host. Yeah, maybe I'm a fat girl, but if you're fatphobic you're a really stupid person, and belive me: that's worst.
• I'm a vegan person. I don't eat any fish or seafood since I was 5, I became vegetarian on 01/01/16 and since February 2018 I don't eat any animal product anymore (that includes honey, I don't know why everybody forgets about the honey). And, obviously, I don't abuse or explote animals in any other sense (you know, I don't use them for transport, I buy cruelty free products, I don't dress with materials such like wool or leather...) But I have to say I don't mind if you eat meat. I mean, I don't like it and I don't share it and I wish you could change your mind, but I'm not gonna get mad or kill you if you eat a steak in front of me. But what I ask for is that you, please, respect my opinion and, at least, understand what veganism is.
• If you don't like persons with...
- Piercings. I have three (Tragus, Industrial and Nostril).
- Tattoos. I have two: a reference about my favorite film on the inside of my left arm and a kind of Wednesday Addams portrait in the left ankle.
- Hair dyed. Mine is an intense red/orange hair.
• In a certain aspect, religions may seem interesting to me (especially Islamism and Buddhism), but even
so there are always signs that I can't understand; I don't share any religion and I don't believe in any God (Atheist). But whatever faith you profess will seem respectable to me.
• If you are sexist, misogynist, racist, fascist, have male chauvinist ideas and / or you hate the LGTB collective, don't bother to talk to me or accept me as a guest. I am open minded but, obviously, there are things like these to which I am totally closed and I don't respect them.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think being on Couchsurfing is a great opportunity to know some different places over the world, meet new people from whom I can learn a lot (their language, culture, ideology...), get out of my comfort zone (I currently believe that it's the only and the best way to discover myself, to lose my shyness and to know what I am capable of), improve my english and (why not?) change my world view.
Currently I hadn't have the opportunity to stay at a surfer's house or meet anybody in any of my trips but I hope to do it soon

Music, Movies, and Books

Rock is probably my favorite music. I don't usually focus on artists, but on songs. ''Always'' (Bon Jovi), ''Just Feel Better'' (Carlos Santana and Steven Tyler), ''Lost in the echo'' (Linkin Park), "Hero" (Family of the Year), ''Come on Eileen'' (Deexy's midnight runners), "Bipolar" (Pol 3.14), ''The A team'' (Ed Sheeran), "Girasoles" (Rozalén), "Excuse me" (Salvador Sobral), "Es Gratis" (Arnau Griso), "Under Pressure" (Queen and David Bowie) and ''Fiesta Pagana'' (Mägo de Oz) are some of my favorites ones right now.

I have to say that movies is the thing I love most. I could spend hours by talking about movies, actors, directors... In 2018 I started counting how many films can I see in a year (I've seen 131 movies. I think maybe I've been very busy that year cause that number is so low!). In fact, I love cinema so much that I'm going to study film editing the next three years (I'd love to study script writing, direction and SFX make up too, but that's gonna be impossible, I can't afford pay al that). I love Nolan's screenplays, how Wes Anderson directs and the way DiCaprio, Depp, Paul Dano and Edward Norton acts. Without any doubt, ''Little miss sunshine'' is my favorite movie. Also, ''Mulan'' is my favorite animated film.

Honestly, I'm not a person who reads due to the lack of time. It's something I have to change since books help us grow as human beings, and it makes us more imaginative and intelligent.

Okay, now let's take a little break! I wanna be sure that anybody that's going to speak to me (because I wrote you for host me, you just wrote me to hang out...) has read my profile so please remember writting who your favorite "Friends" character is and why (if you didn't see the show just let me know it). I'm sure thats gonna be fun and I probably will know you better depending on your answer. If you don't remember write this, I'll assume that you didn't read my profile and maybe I won't even answer your message.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Maybe doing a trip for two European cities by myself for the very first time because I didn't want to spent my birthday in my city and do the same boring thing like every single year?
I have to say that due to my youth and shyness, I've never done anything out of the ordinary, so I hope I could be able to live amazing adventures and experiences thanks to Couchsurfing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach you basic Spanish and recommend you some movies.

I would love to learn everything you could offer me to improve as a person.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm a very organized, responsible and careful person, so your house won't be in danger with me.
Also I love cooking, so If you want (and you trust in me) I could cook you some vegan or spanish dishes. Or, what it's better, a veganized spanish dish version!
