About Me

What about me? A difficult question. I often describe myself as a sandstorm because I like getting new ideas, experiences, conversations, sensations and surprises from people and places. I consider that the best way to learn and expand this metaphorical dynamic storm is travelling and communicating with diverse people and discovering places that make you feel into the culture. Some people call me intense but I would see myself more as an enthusiastic and curious person, very interested in people and social issues.

About my field of study, I studied political sciences and international studies in Madrid ( and I was in Stuttgart as an erasmus student).
I love reflecting, making questions, learning new languages, sports, travelling, indie, ska, pop and rock music, nature and being natural, openness and tolerance, beer, dancing almost all kinds of music and many other things that would not fill in here. That's why it is better to get to know me :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am in Couchsurfing because I think that sharing our places makes us more humans and let us know each other from the very roots, that are the residents of the places we are visiting. Moreover, I think that we can learn a lot from each other. I consider that 85% of what I know does not come from books, but from actively listening to people and making them questions.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I became 18 years old I tried parachuting!!!

I have moved home almost every year since I am 17!

Teach, Learn, Share

I love learning and listening to people (also talking). I prefer learning that way instead of alone or by reading history books. I consider that I am quite optimistic in terms of trying to reccuperate the sense of community of humankind and stop this fast, individual and most of the times meaningless lives that characterise the 21st century.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook a delicious Spanish plates (Gazpacho, Tortilla etc), speak several languages, dance, and talk about many many topics (as well as learning from them ;) ). I like speaking about many deep things, but I am also OK with small talks if the person is not into it. My mother once told me a typical Spanish thing that is: "you are capable of drinking a beer with whoever" and I think that is quite right cause I can adapt easily to things as far as tolerance and respect are taken for granted :D
