CURRENT MISSION

Trying to find out what's next in my life

ABOUT ME

I was born in a village near Vigo and love Galicia but now I rather consider myself a citizen of the world. Everything changed in 2005, when I went to Scotland for a year as an exchange student: I met so many people and got the travel bug. Since then, Ive been living abroad and travelling/visiting friends any time I could... and having them round too. At the moment Im just back from a year in Porto, temporarily back home and trying to find out whats next now!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I cant host at the moment, so I go to CS meetings in Vigo whenever I can and meet surfers for a coffee from time to time. And sometimes I surf!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I surfed a couple of couches around Norway and in Girona with two friends and it was fantastic. No hosting yet, but met a foreign girl living in Vigo for a coffee and loved it! Great first CS experiences!

Interests

I love cinema and watching movies at home in a cloudy day.
Couldnt live without music, love associating some band or song to some point in my life, like the soundtrack of our lives. And LOVE going to gigs and festivals (its an addiction) and falling in love with an unknown band when listening to it in live for the first time :P.
I really enjoy meeting new people, listening to their stories, having a good laugh.
Need to be by the sea and nature, but also love living in huge cities with endless stuff to do and like little cities in it.
Im passionate about Galician culture.
Love inviting friends round, cooking together and drinking wine.
