About Me

Hi everybody!

I'm 25 yo and I'm from a town near Valencia (Spain). I studied Aerospace Engineering and I'm currently living in Berlin to start a PhD in a few months.

Besides traveling, I really like dancing. I used to dance ballet and contemporary dance, but I also would like to try other styles. I also enjoy a lot doing outdoor activities, like hiking, doing short trips to the mountains and being surrounded by nature.

I consider myself very open-minded, passionate and enthusiastic! I love meeting new people, hanging out, drinking some beers and talking about life! I like so much discussing and rambling about absolutely any topic haha I love listening to people, understanding different points of view, and learning about everything: physics, psychology, politics, languages, cooking... Anything!

I'm always ready to discover new places, people and experiences. I love the adventure, so I let myself be carried away by the improvisation!!

I am in a constant process of learning about myself, as a woman and as a human being. I am constantly trying to question everything I think I know, my thoughts and my beliefs in order to leave behind prejudices and be more critical, honest, tolerant and respectful with the rest of the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For me, traveling is not only exploring new places, seeing amazing landscapes… but also learning from the people of the place I’m visiting, about their culture, language and their way of life. And also learning to be more respectful and tolerant.

And that's why I'm on Couchsurfing. For me, it means finding amazing people around the world and sharing some time together, learning about their country, culture, language, interests… It is the way to discover a place through the eyes of another person.
As sometimes I travel alone, I like Couchsurfing to find people and share all these experiences.

Music, Movies, and Books

It may sound a cliché, but the spectrum of types of music I listen to is veeeery broad! I really like indie, rock, folk-electronic, "alternative" (which can really mean anything haha). I'm always open to listening to different artists and styles to discover new things.

About books, I enjoy distopian stories like 1984 (George Orwell), Brave New World (Aldous Huxley), Walden 2 (B. F. Skinner) and I'm trying to read more books from feminist writters like Gioconda Belli, Angela Davis or bell hooks.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveling alone is the most amazing thing I've ever done. Considering all the pros and cons, it makes me grow as a human being. It helps me to escape from my comfort zone and be braver. It makes me a more tolerant and respectful person with other cultures. It brings to my life amazing friends around the world.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm a native Spanish and Catalan speaker, so I can teach both languages. I can also help you at home, like cooking or housekeeping. I love talking and sharing experiences about traveling, cultures, languages, music, food... anything you have in mind and maybe discover new interests I've never heard before!
