About Me

I often struggle to write things about me, but I’ve been told that I’m a very patient person and. Initially, I had this idea of traveling as something cool but as I travel I realized how it’s more than just an idea or something you use to tell people “oh I’ve been there” but an experience so indescribable that you tell people to go and try it. Each experiences varies, it could get lonely at some point but that’s the thing, it strengthen you and teaches you. I like meeting people and learning about cultures but I won’t deny that it scares me, but I also realize that people are perhaps just in the same boat as I am, waiting for someone to approach them and say hi while some knows exactly how you feel and will gladly lend you a hand. Right now, I’m trying my best to learn spanish not only because I live here but because it’s such a rewarding feeling when I can comprehend and respond to another person. Looks like I didn’t struggle one bit writing this one haha

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I hiked the small hill across the alcazar of Segovia by myself and sat for two hours video calling people to show them the view before me. Truly liberating and extraordinary.
