Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To learn and discover as much as I can, but most of all enjoy it
ABOUT ME
I was born in Santander, a small city located in the north of Spain. I always thought it was too small for me so I had in mind that I needed to get out of there. To be honest, as much time as it passes, after having experienced the other places where I have been, I realized that there is never gonna be any place like home. And it will always be there!
PHILOSOPHY
Every day is a new day, therefore a new experience to learn about life. Enjoy!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
The way of travelling I think is the best to learn about this world, new cultures, people, ideas,... And if exists a place in internet that helps to improve this I'll surely go for it
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I don't have much CS experience, but I've always been open to share my house, because I've also been in that situation. Once in Japan a woman gave me a piece of cloth to prevent me getting my kimono dirty while I was sitting on the floor, she also said that her sister was a foreginer in another country and she would like the people helping her as she was helping me. That was one of my first lessons.
Interests
F O O D!! Hahaha! I love trying new flavours and textures, dishes...and also learn how to cook! Today I have my own vegetable garden and I love to combine different flavours using herbs and vegetables with any basic ingredient, usually turns out to be delicious!
Love acting as well, specially theatre,performances, opera,commedia de'll arte, clown, physical theatre, kabuki, noh, butoh,...
I studied history of art, and I like both subjects ( I consider I learn a lot with history, and because it is connected with art I find it really interesting)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I have been a volunteer either in my hometown and also abroad, and I learned this way some of the most important lessons in my life. Today I host volunteers and I learn from this experience as well!!
Teach, Learn, Share
I like to learn from others the cultures, food,... knowledge is just what we get through all over our life.
I can also share my culture as well!
What I Can Share with Hosts
I have no many ratings in hosting in couch surfing, but today I have my own business as a host for guests and volunteers as well and I know exactly what are the minimum expectations for the person who is hosting a complete stranger. I like people who make any situation easy and respect anyone's space, it seems simple but not many people understands it.
