About Me

Since December 2021 me and my partner are living together on our floating home in the Guadiana river on the SW Spanish-Portuguese peninsula

ABOUT ME

I am from Madrid, very easy going person, positive minded who loves to travel and meet nice people. I am a marine biologist and lately ive worked as a deckhand on board sailing vessels :) normally try to work for 5-6 months and then travel and chill the rest of the year.

PHILOSOPHY

I love simplicity, kindness and sharing!
I am vegan because I see the need to respect the life of other animals on Earth, trying to colaborate to decrease the impact of human worldwide.
I love nature, the sea and the mountains, sunbathing, circus, music, cooking, chilling, movies, and get lost in new places!
Meet new cultures, and respect their places, dont be a tourist, and let the journey changes your perspective

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I started to do Couchsurfing in 2013 in Uruguay, when I was living in Argentina and studying Biology there. It was such a good experience that I really trust that it is the best way to travel and meet local people, share experiences, food recipes, special places, and learn languages.
There is awesome the linkage that sometimes you establish with the people that is hosting/you are hosting. I´ve made really good friends, and I am very happy to keep the contacts with most of them :)

So always that I've had a house, there has been space for people who need a bed/food.

Interests

In May 2022 we are moving to Husavik to work there summer season in marine conservation and ship restauration ;)

Now I'm into sailing a lot, with a future sailing boat for ourselves, so trying to focus on learning and trying to be self-sufficient and have a little print as possible.
I like to meet inspiring and healthy people, committed to social and environmental issues, appreciate good conversations, friends, laughs...

Teach, Learn, Share

We must take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim.
Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.
Sometimes we must interfere.
When human lives are endangered, when human dignity is in jeopardy, national borders and sensitivities become irrelevant. Wherever men and women are persecuted because of their race, religion, or political views, that place must - at that moment - become the center of the universe.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I LOVE cooking (vegan food) for people, Positivism, conversations and walks, laughs...
