About Me

You are wellcome to rest on an inflatable matress in my cave-house. There is always something going on here, since we are creating a fantasy space for events, games and plays. So a hand is always welcome if you like handcrafting.

I have lived mainly in Granada, Seville, New York, and Stockholm, and for some months in mountains of Japan, Oravi (Finland), and the Scottish Highlands.

As a creator, traveling and meeting all kinds of people is the fuel of my work. I enjoy conversations about any topic since my interests are varied, and I like to listen and learn about subjects I know less about. As a good Mediterranian, I can be an enthusiastic talker in an argument haha.

I also love cooking, so making dinner as a treat is always an option! And, of course, I will always be up for a movie watching and discussion night.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have been volunteering in different countries and sharing rooms and food with people from around the world. It has been the most enriching experience and I want to continue finding that in the places that I visit and in my home too!

Music, Movies, and Books

I cannot choose any favorite but The Lord of the Rings is the movie(s) I have watched the most, The Little Prince is the first book that made me cry, and Loreena McKennitt's concert in the Alhambra is the best company for life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I don't know if they would sound incredible, but there are some magical experiences I carry with me:

-Worked at a Japanese onsen and was visited by snow monkeys.
-Discovered a book on a messy bookshelf that had a message for me in the description of the back cover (yes, as crippy as it sounds).
-Lived in a Scottish castle for a month (with everything you could imagine in a castle haha).
