Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
My only purpose in this world is to enjoy life, be surrounded by my dearest friends and try to help anyone if I can
ABOUT ME
I am from Donostia- San Sebastian (Basque Country), but now I'm living in Bilbao (also Basque Country. I usually visit my boyfriend in San Sebastián de los Reyes (Madrid). I know it can be a little bit confusing because the names are very similar ;)
I am looking for new adventures in life, and traveling is a good way for so. I am easy going and I love meeting new people.
On 2016 I finished studying Forestry engineering in Madrid. That year I volunteered in some workcamps in México (it was a dream come true). Afterwards started working mostly in environmental related jobs in UK, Colombia and Spain.
I really enjoy hiking and like doing things as painting, swimming, cooking.... Anyway, one thing that I appreciate is going out with my friends, have some beers and eat good tapas!!
PHILOSOPHY
I have always shared what the philosopher Kant said: I am a citizen of the world. Moreover I also think that the feelings that I receive from others are the greatest things I can have.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Mostly I have hosted or just spent some time showing my city to the couchsurfers. I also support the couchsurfing community with any enquiries. Sometimes I join events that happen nearby.
I like sharing my place with other couch surfers and in the same way I'm interested in other couches!

Music, Movies, and Books
I love rock music in general. But there are many other styles that I listen to. In Colombia I started flowing with Salsa music
I've watch so many movies that I cannot count. Some years ago I loved the french trilogy: blue, white, red.
Nowadays I am not reading any book but the ones I need to study for government exams
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
There are many, but now I am thinking about the times I went canyoning in different countries, always a cool adventure experience that I would love to repeat.
I am also amazed about the workcamps I participated in, the activities and the people I met are very valuable to me.
The last incredible adventure I had was to quit my job in Spain and go to Colombia to participate as an ornithologist field technician in various National Parks for some months in 2019.
Teach, Learn, Share
I want to learn from the others anything they want to share. I will also try to show myself as I am.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I always can share some good talks. A nice thing is to do could be some language exchange or showing some cooking recipies that I have learned.
