Overview
About Me
I am a person with a lot of curiosity, I love to learn new things and to accumulate experiences knowing new people and discovering other cultures. My passion is Medicine, and I recognize that I like studying. I enjoy helping people and my dream is to travel the world working as a doctor. My hobbies are running (I'm a friki of athletics) and playing the guitar. I consider myself a very responsible, tolerant and respectful person with an open mind. Something I can't stand is wasting my time. I love optimistic people and lovers of life.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I recently discovered that traveling is one of the best things in the world. I wouldn't want to die without having traveled a good part of the planet. I think that meeting people from other cultures is also a way of traveling, and Couchsurfing offers you that opportunity. I would also like to learn other languages and improve my English.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
The most incredible thing I did in my life was to change 5 times of university career. First study a month nursing, then I switched to dentistry. Then I decided to study Psychology and Dramatic Art for a year and finally realized that my passion is Medicine, and now I am definitely dedicated to it.
In my life I didn't do amazing things but I did many things: I trained and competed in athletics, basketball and table tennis. I went to the music conservatory for 9 years playing guitar and piano, and also went to painting and singing classes.
Some of my dreams to fulfill are:
- To run a marathon
- Volunteering in Africa
Teach, Learn, Share
TEACH:
I can show you a lot of things about Spanish culture and especially about Galicia. I really enjoy explaining anything or teaching the Spanish language.
I could spend hours talking about Medicine, health or Psychology. There are many interesting things to tell about it.
I can also teach you to play the guitar and have a good time singing.
LEARN:
- I love learning anything new. I am very interested in practicing English.
I would like to discover new cultures through their people, to listen to stories and customs of other countries and to practice them.
SHARE:
I would like to share stories and experiences. I think everyone is always learning something, whether good or bad. Although we are young, we have a perspective on life that can bring something to other people who are different from us. Older people can also tell us many more experiences. Everyone has something to tell.
