About Me

I am currently on a journey in Australia since February 2023 and plan to visit the Philippines and Japan starting from February 2024. My exploration of Australia and Tasmania has materialized through several road trips, fulfilling a childhood dream. I feel immense gratitude for having had the chance to live this experience.

As for my professional life, I deliberately chose to take a break to travel for a year, possibly a year and a half. However, after discovering so many wonders, I am now inclined to extend this break for a few more years, as one year is not enough to explore everything. I have decided to dedicate all my savings to pursuing my dream of traveling, discovering new cultures, and establishing connections with people worldwide. This first journey has allowed me to grow and has profoundly transformed my life. It is the beginning of a new adventure.

As for me, I consider myself a funny, smiling, understanding, empathetic, and joyful person. I have had the chance to connect with many people, especially during this year. I have lived with various people through Helpx and Workaway experiences. Although I have not had the opportunity to do Couchsurfing yet, I can provide recommendations from people I have stayed with, who have considered me respectful, calm, and always ready to help.

Unfortunately, I don't have any Couchsurfing to offer at the moment as I don't have a home. As soon as I have one, I will be delighted to host travelers.

My main passions include nature, hiking in national parks, animals, birds, electronic music, and occasionally going to clubs or festivals to dance! I also enjoy board games, cooking, and engaging in conversations about the world's perspectives. I love adventure, experiences, and challenges.

Regarding my upcoming destinations, they include the Philippines, Japan, New Zealand, with the plan to complete the Te Araroa of the South Island in 2025! After that, I intend to travel to Canada, Central, and South America. I even wish to cross Africa by bicycle (to be discussed).

As a woman, I want to emphasize that any spontaneous propositions will be reported. I am looking to sleep in a safe and women-respectful environment.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The best way to discover the world is to experience it through the eyes of its inhabitants. I love establishing connections with people and making new acquaintances. I find it more enriching and rewarding to be hosted by someone than to stay in a hotel, whose name I would never remember, while I would remember yours.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn to play an instrument, photography and filmmaking, research religions, politics, and the history of countries. Additionally, I'd like to learn underwater hunting, practice surfing, kitesurfing, and rock climbing. Furthermore, I aim to enhance my Spanish proficiency, improve my English, and have the opportunity to work while traveling.
