Sorry but I only host people with references :)

I am a very creative and curious person who has built her life around learning and connecting with others. I love meeting different people, learning from their experiences, and exploring the stories behind their thoughts and actions. My passion for art, culture, and anthropology shapes the way I see the world.

🌎 South America transformed me. Though I live in Madrid now, my soul belongs to México, Argentina, Uruguay, and all the places and people I’ve encountered in that part of the world, where 'caben muchos mundos.' I’m also deeply fascinated by post-Soviet countries and their unique histories and cultures.

Currently, I am pursuing a master's degree in Social and Cultural Anthropology, focusing on social and cultural transformations. My thesis explores these themes through ethnographic research, and I’ll be back in México for a few months to carry out fieldwork and immerse myself in the communities and stories that inspire me.

I’m drawn to the UNUSUAL — all kinds of unusual: from costumbrism to the truly bizarre.

Mad about photography, anthropology, gastronomy, films, traveling, cooking, and meaningful conversations. I’m always on the lookout for charming and unexpected places, with a special love for architecture and abandoned spaces 💘

An open-minded dreamer, curious about the world and its people, always trying to bring the best of myself to others. Polite, sincere, and forever smiling.

Soy una persona muy creativa y curiosa que ha construido su vida alrededor de aprender y conectar con los demás. Mi pasión por el arte, la cultura y la antropología define mi manera de ver el mundo.

🌎 Sudamérica cambió mi vida. Aunque ahora vivo en Madrid, mi alma pertenece a México, Argentina, Uruguay y a todos los lugares y personas que he conocido en esa parte del mundo, donde "caben muchos mundos." También siento una profunda fascinación por los países postsoviéticos y su historia y cultura.

Actualmente estoy cursando un máster en Antropología Social y Cultural, con especial interés en las transformaciones sociales y culturales. Mi tesis está centrada en estos temas, y pronto regresaré a México durante unos meses para realizar trabajo de campo etnográfico.

Apasionada de la fotografía, la antropología, la gastronomía, el cine, los viajes, la cocina y las conversaciones significativas. Con un amor especial por las costumbres, tradiciones, la arquitectura y los espacios abandonados 💘

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think that travelling is not the same as knowing a place. And with couchsurfing I can know a place from inside and also know the culture.
