Hey, I'm Mary❤️‍🔥
Open-minded traveller, adventurer and techno lover.
My friends often compare me to capybara because I can get along with people easily.

I’m based in sunny Valencia, a city that perfectly fits my love for vibrant energy and relaxed lifestyle. Remote work lets me travel often and enjoy life to the fullest.

Travelling has always been a big part of who I am. I love exploring new places and involve in new activities but what excites me most are the people I meet — locals and travelers who turn each place into something unforgettable.

I believe that perception shapes our experience, so I try to find value and lessons in everything that happens and rarely get disappointed. Aka antifragile.

After working as an Automation QA engineer for many years, I am starting a more creative path exploring music as a DJ. I love dancing, music festivals, and the energy they create between people.

I’m also into sports, mountain hikes, long walks, spontaneous ideas, board games, deep conversations, partying, meditation. I love learning and experiencing, always look for ways to grow.

I’m curious by nature, rarely say no to new experiences. So I sign up to crazy adventures people offer me in 9 out of 10 cases. I embrace diversity and accept different points of view and people.

I believe good energy attracts good people — and that’s the kind of energy I try to bring into everything I do.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people and share energy
To host and get hosted. I am not doing it for the sake of accommodation but to find connections and be able to hang out with interesting people. That is why I carefully review profiles to see if we would match. I get in contact with people who resonate with me.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to many types of music specifically I like the most techno, reggae, handpan instrumental music.

Music festivals I visited: Hive festival in Germany; Monegros, Duro, Rototom Sunsplash, Fury, Basto in Spain; Peacock Society in France; Laboratorium in Ukraine, Rave Rebel in Belgium.

I watch different genres, I like something that makes me think a lot or leaves me speechless for a while. I love TV series but don't watch them much because I cannot stop once I am involved.

Some of my favourites are Rick and Morty, Sense8, Attach on Titan, Forest Gump, Dogville.

I read fiction as well as non fiction. I like philosophical and psychological books the most.

Some of my favourite books: Antifragility, Sapiens short history of humankind, Red Queen, Nonviolent Communication

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lost my phone being in dessert festival at night without close friends and having the flight the next morning. Managed to survive and find the way.

I had over 10 flights in one trip within 2 weeks.

I could run 13km workout without a single stop.

During one of the festivals I danced for 3 days and nights, having slept only 5 hours in total and almost without stops.

Having 2 well-paid stable jobs, I resigned and went into the fear of unknown being alone abroad in order to find fulfilment and follow inner voice.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share my trip and life experience, tell about peculiarities of programmer work and how to get remote job in this field from beginning, teach languages that I know.

I am open to learn whatever life sends me.

I am happy to share whatever knowledge I have in any field and information about the cities or cool places.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook, keep the company to most activities, lead conversations, share the good energy and positivity.
