About Me

I’m a very creative and curious person, always interested in learning about many different things. When I travel, I like to stay active and spend most of the day outside, visiting museums, interesting places and exploring cities on foot. I enjoy both deep conversations and light, spontaneous plans.

I’m not usually a morning person, but when I travel I adapt easily. I’m very independent and comfortable doing things on my own, but if someone wants to join me, I’d be very happy. If not, that’s absolutely fine too.

I’m studying Audiovisual Production, and I love writing scripts and stories, as well as creating audiovisual projects such as YouTube videos, photography and short films. I enjoy talking, but I especially like listening, because that’s how I learn the most about different ways of living.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I use Couchsurfing to learn about different cultures and different ways of living around the world. For me, traveling is not only about seeing places, but also about understanding people and everyday life in each country.

Meeting locals and travelers helps me gain new perspectives, which is something I find very inspiring and also useful for my future work in filmmaking and storytelling.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I enjoy many styles of music. I play the drums and love discovering new artists and sounds. My favourite singer-songwriter is Milo J, an argentinian 19 year old that makes argentine folklore.

Movies: My favourite movie is Shutter Island but i love to watch and write about all sorts of films.

Books: Lately I've been reading a lot about how to become a good director, but my favourite book still is The Da Vinci Code

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I traveled to Brussels without having a place to sleep, and while I was already on the plane, an amazing person offered to host me last minute. I even missed my flight back with no money left, but this one and only experience with CoachSurfing showed me how generous and supportive people can be while traveling.

Teach, Learn, Share

I’m an English teacher for kids, and I can also teach Spanish ands Galician. I enjoy sharing what I know, but I’m especially interested in learning from others and hearing about their experiences, cultures and perspectives.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I’m a tidy, quiet, respectful and adaptable guest. I’m very independent and don’t expect company all the time, but I’m always happy to share a walk, a coffee, a conversation or an activity if you feel like it.

I can share conversations about culture, travel, filmmaking, music and football (I love watching matches and visiting stadiums when possible). I’m always willing to help with anything I’m asked and to create a relaxed and easy atmosphere.
