I am currently living in Viñales after meeting my now husband who is originally from here.
We are renovating a house right next to his parents' house, who own a "casa de renta" where you can have your own independant room with bathroom and air-conditioning

Been living in France (Saint-Etienne, Lyon, Reims, Paris), in Spain (Valladolid and Costa Brava), in Ireland (Dublin) and now in Cuba (Viñales).
I love new cultures and learning more about people's culture in general. I love discovering new food, new music, new places, and of course new people :).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Love meeting new people with other mindsets and cultures.
I also really like to share (cooking recipes, music, dance moves) and learn from other people's interests. We can then have conversations ranging from wood carving or stained glass windows to Norwegian politics or Spanish food!

Music, Movies, and Books

- Favorite music : it kind of changes according to the moment, the place, and the people i'm with :)
Can go from Simon and Garfunkel to Daft Punk or Buena Vista Social Club

- Favorite movies : It's a Wonderful Life from Frank Capra (not the Italian one), The Prestige, Marguerite, Tim Burton films, the Harry Potter saga, etc

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Stayed half an hour observing a wild jaguar 30 meters away from us in the Amazon forest

Teach, Learn, Share

I am staying with my Cuban family-in-law, so they have a lot to offer in terms of culture sharing. From delicious food (Toni, my father-in-law used to be a cook), to good cocktails while you enjoy the amazing view on the rooftop or good recommendations on what to do in Viñales.

We can also recommend tours here (horse-riding tours, hikes, etc), we can teach you salsa, share music, etc. Everything you need to embrace the amazing Cuban culture!

And will be happy to learn whatever you are interested in sharing with us :)!
