Overview
About Me
Hey! I'm from Spain and I love traveling!
I am an Aerospace engineering major student and minoring in Aerospace vehicles. On the weekends, I work for a big retailer Spanish shop, Zara.
I've been moving towns ever since I was a kid (because of my parents's job), so that is probably the reason why I am very outgoing and friendly (had to make new friends every school year).
UPDATE! Until June 2022:
I am currently on a university exchange year at Embry riddle, in Florida, USA. I came here because they have a good aerospace program, and I love the US culture.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I am in college, and I guess that still leaves me with some time to travel (before I get a real job) and I want to enjoy small trips and travel around a little, so I guess I'm giving Couch Surfing the chance that everyone should give it.
I am beyond thrilled to be part of this community.
I love having the opportunity to see every city I visit the way their locals do!
I've had the chance to stay with some awesome hosts, I have learned something from every single one of them!
Last December, I was able to host for the first time, I loved the experience of having someone over and teach them about my city! When I go back to Madrid, I'm definitely going to be hosting again :)

Books: Suspense and fiction. (But I now mostly read Thermodynamics and Relative Mechanics haha)
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I spent one Christmas in a small village in Jaipur, India, volunteering for a Wildlife Conservation Org. I was in charge of two beautiful Indian elephants, Rani and Ranguli. The were taken away from a local business that missed any animal right that you could name. I spent day and night with them (we literally slept 10 meters away), feeding and bathing them (although they mostly bathed me). The community in the village was life changing for me.
I sailed though the Greek Islands, the Cyclades. Lived for a week on board on my crutches and became a sailing fan :)
Had an accident and got a very complicated surgery on my leg. I spent three months on a wheel chair + 6 months on crutches. On those last 6 months I travelled to Greece, Portugal, France and around Spain with my job settlement haha had to get something good out of it...
I rode on the Interrail trains, all across western and central Europe for a month, when I was 17. I have a lot of good (and not so good) stories from that trip, and is still and always be one of my favorites!
Lived in Tijuana, Mexico, by myself for a year in 2019. Got a full ride scholarship and got to travel around California and Mexico during my stay.
Teach, Learn, Share
I love a good conversation accompanied by a cup of coffee/wine. Always down to meet new people and make good plans.
What I Can Share with Hosts
My own life experiences, I've moved more than 17 times and I've meet people from all around the globe.
I can also share some good Spanish ham and Sangria. Some good conversation and vibes.
