About Me

I am a positive girl, energetic, smiling, a little shy, and thoughtful.
I love dancing salsa, bachata, kizomba and go dancing every week in Valencia, where I live and work now.
Always looking for the adventure, new cultures, new places... Everything that's unknown.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It has very nice and interesting advantages regarding meeting locals, getting to know a real country and culture, have a 'home' to sleep and finding out the best spots in a town/city, helping travelers to travel more, and so on. However, I think it is mostly about learning. Discover the world, including the citizens, the thoughts, perspectives, behaviors, etc. And of course it's just fun!

Interests

In particular: dancing (salsa, bachata, kizomba, cumbia, etc), hiking, traveling, healthy food/cooking, sports, creativity

Besides, I studied intercultural management, so I am interested in anything that has to deal with cultures and how it manifests in any kind of activity, belief, language, food, habits, identity, adaptation, etc. I am curious, enjoy philosophy and always dig deeper.

Music, Movies, and Books

Latin music or electronic dance. I love going to latin dance nights or electronic dance festivals.
I don't like watching movies a lot because I prefer active things, usually people kind of get in shock when they realize how little I know about movies.
I like reading things about research, real life things. Something I learn from. Interesting facts or philosophy..

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Summer University + travel in Thailand
Living in Lisbon for 10 months
Traveling without plans for 5 months and discovering Mexico, Colombia and Ecuador. Spending time with lovely families, integrating into the cultures..
Living for 6 months in Mexico
Climb an active volcano in Guatemala and see sunset and sunrise from there

Teach, Learn, Share

See the beauty in everything and everyone. Be positive. Be bright. Then, even the bad happenings will be light :)

I believe every single person teaches you something new that will somehow make you grow, rethink, evaluate.. Every person knows a lot you do not know yet an which you might need to live your life better in one way or the other, whether it is a small change or big, unconscious or conscious.

I would share everything I know, languages, cooking, dancing, travel experiences.. depending on your interests :)
