About Me

I'm an smiling and people focused person.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would like to get to know amazing people from all over the world and do exciting plans.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like to participate so I would always prefer "interactive" music, music that one can take part in either singing or dancing. I don't enjoy reading so much .. I have had the same book with me for three years, partly because I didn't want to finish it, partly cause I usually prefer movement and socialising. Anyway, my favourite books : Lord of the rings, The earth pilars and let's say as well the book that has may be accidentally accompanied me these last years : The hundred-year-old man who climbed out of the window and dissapeared.
February 2020, I've discovered that I love reading as long as it is about motivation and personal development. I have enjoyed books like "Learning to Love" by Covadonga Pérez Lozana, "The Shadow Effect" by Deepah Chopra, "A return to love" by Marianne Williamson and "The artist's way" by Julia Cameron.
Talking about films I love either comedy or inspirational movies like the ones that I've just seen these last weeks: "In America", and "Yomeddine", which were both a pleasure to see...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Free hugs on the queue before going into London Wax Museum, it was actually such a great way not to waste time while queueing... and even lately walking through central London with a homemade 'Free hugs' t-shirt ( just that two words and a :) which I tootally recommend doing to anyone new in such a huge place..

Hidding presents for Xmas in some places I had seen when passing by there was a homeless person in Madrid. 

Serving food monday to friday at lunchtime in Spain to people struggling with their budgets and to some newly arrived african inmigrants, during the year and a half I was looking for a job...it actually made me forget about my problems and gave a sense and a real joy to my life.

Staying at the entrance of the Houses of parliament in London, with an extra large EU flag to try to make them reconsider that dreadful idea of kicking good humans out of here. 

Writing Theresa May on facebook to tell how putting bristish against europeans had made everyone less happy because of closing their hearts, even a terrible decission for british economy.

Dancing 'Amigos para siempre' on the platform in front of the Houses of parliament, to remind myself I don't dislike all the english people who did not welcome us...life is too short to waste energy and health hating anyone😅

Free hugs in front of Marble Arch, where I also received some sweet hugs from english people I have to say! the hope of that country...

Giving the idea for one of the biggest peaceful and danceful strikes in Madrid for the freedom on self decision about wearing masks and the choice of choosing about own vaccines.

Facing fear to be known personally, after being such a silent and introverted person.

Overcoming the fear of travelling alone in far away places and learning tips to feel safer and like more accompanied on the way. 

Singing and dancing in front of a group of people just for fun.

Watching several wild animals and breathtaking natural wonders while travelling, like whales in Tenerife or Niagara Falls and the forests in Autunm in Canada, for example...

Talking to Princess Ann while waitressing just to realise how we are all same.

Getting a photo and a video with Luke Skywalker, when he visited Cambridge, that her daughters offered to take me.

Singing at home after a bad day to express my feelings until I got to more cheerful songs, also to leave my neighbours with a good taste of mouth😅

Trying so many different kind of dances, and expressing myself also through dance. 

In general, always looking for a way to scape from a grey not-lived life to a more meaningful and properly called existance, full of big Dreams and still trying...

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm always happy to learn any kind of dance and to sing

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer a deep conversation, laughs and my smile or encouragement if it's needed.
