CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

Duna: I'm a very happy and friendly girl. My passion in life is to travel, discover new landscapes, new people, cultures, food, music, plants and animals, and so on.

I'm interested in international cooperation, agroecology, etnobotanic, natural cosmetics (I produce my own ones and I have given some workshops). All related with self-sufficiency life, specially making food in traditional ways like bread, cheese, butter, etc.

Im from the countryside and my father is a farmer, so Ive been helping in the farm part of my life and I also have been studying Environmental Sciences in Barcelona and Granada, doing some scholarships in Costa Rica. I love nature but also nice cites to visit and stay to know its secrets and its own life.

PHILOSOPHY

My philosophy of life is listen to your heart more than your brain ;) (maybe a bad translation from spanish) but I hope you understand! Be happy and natural; be who you are, enjoy the small things, love and be loved, travel everywhere with music inside and outside!! and be simple and free trying to be more self-sufficient making your own quality food without expending lots of money and helping the Earth to be healthier.
yeh.. I thing this is more or less my philosophy ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been couch surfing last year with my brother in Gent (Belgium), Utrecht (Holland), Dresden (Germany), Bratislava (Slovakia), Budapest (Hungry), and Zagreb ( Croatia), and all of them were fantastic experiences! I cannot choose between them because all were great! Really friendly and nice people, open mind, good conversation and also accommodation.

We couldn't do more because we didn't get positive answers to couch surf in other cities where we asked!

Interests

Just in general: I like music, art, nature, plants, animals, mountains, travel around the world with a few money...and meet people!!

Now: me and my boyfriend Yannic we want to know ITALY, starting in ROMA for some few days and then do some volunteer work in different farms around Italy (also visiting places and cities meanwhile). Now we are in an ecofarm in Belgium; me volunteering and Yannic working in the organic vegetables garden. (www.boskanter.be). So we have already some experience in this field but we want to learn more and more things! ;)
