About Me

ABOUT ME

Cheerful and enthusiastic. Love travelling, meeting new people and talking (no matter where, who and about what).

I´m from Madrid (Spain) but I´m on Erasmus in Wroclaw (Poland) so, although I can´t host anybody right now, I´ll be glad to show you the city.

PHILOSOPHY

"If you want to know the truth of who you are, walk until not a person knows your name. Travel is the great leveler, the great teacher, bitter as medicine, crueler than mirror-glass. A long stretch of road will teach you more about yourself than a hundred years of quiet."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Knowing new countries for me doesn´t mean just visiting new cities but also having the opportunity to meet people from wherever I go.

Interests

Usually I have to study hard but when I´ve time I hate being at home. Everytime I can I go out and travel, spending time with family and friends. I love dancing, mainly salsa (but I´m only a beginner).

Lately, I´ve became more and more interested in hiking. There´s nothing like spending a few days in the mountains, having some fresh air and walking in the nature. That doesn´t mean that I don´t like beach and sun but putting both together would be the perfect combination.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My first big backpack trip arround Europe (Interrail), few years ago. We were seven friends with not many things planned, travelling from one city to the other. Sleeping were we had the opportunity (train stations, airports...). At that time we didn´t know about coachsurfing (unluckily). We had the opportunity to meet many people on the way, all with a story, all with sth different to teach. From then I started liking this way of travelling and I can´t believe I didn´t know about cs before. But it´s never too late (I hope).

What I Can Share with Hosts

Experiences and thoughts. Energy and motivation. And all that comes with that. Unfortunetly, I can´t host anybody because right now I´m on Erasmus, living in a Dormitory but, as I wrote before, I´d be happy to share all I´ve learnt about the city in all these past months.
