About Me

What can you expect from me as a host 🪴

I don't live completely independently so sometimes I'm alone, others my family are around (specially my dad and my partner). Now I am working a lot and it is a bit chaotic but I try to host when it is possible.

Specially looking forward to meet people who are happy spending time on their own/ have interesting travel stories/ solo travel girlies/ vegetarians or vegans 🥑

Anyways, drop me a message and I'll see what I can do!

My travel/ life story ✈️

I was born and raised in Gran Canaria, Canary Islands.

In 2018 I moved to Italy for studies (Erasmus exchange year) and I started traveling and I discovered this community.

In 2023 I traveled around South America by myself for two months, I met the most amazing people and I got in love with this way of traveling and sharing.

Then I moved to Berlin and I started to share this profile with my partner Fer, he has joined me in some trips but mostly I'm still traveling by myself.

In the end of 2024 I moved back to the island, and now I'm finally in the position to spend some months at home, some months travelling.

More about me 🌈

I enjoy reading, learning, travelling, connecting with people, cooking and trying new food. I also love a bit of calisthenics, gymnastics, yoga or acroyoga. I am always in movement. I love nature and I enjoy simple things in life.

For work, I've done everything but right now I'm a researcher in energy and also work in a restaurant. I'm also trying to build something new for myself so experiences or advice from people with their own business are very much appreciated!

I was vegetarian since 8 years ago, now I am vegan 🌱 please take this into account if you're coming to my home, as this is very important for me and I prefer not having animal products around.

My partner, Fer 👯

Not as social or into travel as me, but very chill and sweet and he loves exploring and learning new things too. He brings the balance to my chaos. He appreciates the little pleasures of life and and loves nature and sports. He loves cooking and trying new foods too and for work he is also a researcher and teacher.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love the connections that can happen between people with this community. And I believe that sharing is caring and other ways of doing things (outside of the capitalistic/transactional way) are possible.

Interests

I'm really curious and I'd love just learning from you, asking questions and get really deep conversations about humans, life, our differences and similarities.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love reading, I read a lot and I enjoy the historic novels and every book that makes you think/ questioning everything. I love to get new book recommendations.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've seen many beauties in all of the Canary Islands, but the most rare one was seen an active volcano in the island of La Palma 🇮🇨

I've known and lived the beautiful Favela do Vidigal from the inside thanks to Aline from Couchsurfing 🇧🇷

I've seen the most amazing night sky in Atacama desert and in Tasarte in my island Gran Canaria 🇨🇱🇮🇨

I've shared 10 days with the most amazing people in Turkey during Ramadan, and learnt that friendship needs no common language 🇹🇷

I've seen the most beautiful round, complete rainbows and a lot of butterflies in Iguazú falls 🇦🇷

I experienced the extreme cold in Rovaniemi, Finland, where
it was -20ºC and the sky was always in a sunrise/sunset 🇫🇮

I saw the elephants and giraffes by my side in Kenya, where I also met the most amazing people 🇰🇪

I experienced Holi the festival of colors and the sacred city of Varanasi in India 🇮🇳

I took part in 2 guiness world records and I have a map from the countries I've met people from, it is more than 100 and counting!

I love latin music and I think I'm the person who has listened to Bizarrap Session vs. Quevedo - "Quédate" in most countries 👯‍♀️

Teach, Learn, Share

I love learning from others.

I love getting to know new foods.
