After using my boyfriend’s account for two years, I finally admitted I look nothing like a “Juan Tomás”… so it was time to create my own profile!

My name is Irene and I’m currently living in Salamanca, even though I’m constantly moving around. My student years have recently come to an end, so I am now exploring this new life stage.

I work as a translator and interpreter, mainly for a sustainable clothing brand based in Spain. I love everything craft related: embroidery, crochet, knitting…

Nature is also a big part of my life. I love being outdoors and exploring wildlife. A hike is always the perfect excuse to meet with friends and have a great time!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love the couchsurfing community and now I want to be an active member of it. This idea of bringing people together and sharing bits of one’s life is wonderful.

I’ve lived in Salamanca for a few years. I love showing this region and its wonders to guests: it’s landscapes, food and wines, culture…

Also, whenever I’m travelling, I love the feeling of belonging to this community: meeting other surfers, discovering other places.

Interests

I am a craft girl: crochet, knitting, embroidery… everything yarn related, you name it!

I’ve recently re-discovered my passion for literature. I used to read and write a lot in my teenage years, but sadly gave it up during university. Now I’m entering again this wonderful world.

Outdoors activities are something that I love: hiking, cycling, nature…

• books
• yoga
• running
• crochet
• cycling
• hiking
• nature

Music, Movies, and Books

I’m always open to sharing new books and music. Both my Goodreads and Spotify account are in need for new recommendations and suggestions.

Teach, Learn, Share

Ich lerne Deutsch seit einigen Monaten, ich suche Freunde zum Kennenlernen!

Also, I can teach you some crochet techniques! Or we can practice yoga together. I love sharing those moments

What I Can Share with Hosts

Tomás and I live together in a cozy apartment that we gladly share with other couchsurfers. We live a pretty calm life, filled with adventures!

We both love hosting people, showing them the city and the natural surroundings. Due to our work and routines, we can’t always spend that much time with surfers. However, we love a good chat over some tapas or home cooked meals!
