I'm a Canarian islander who has recently moved to Kansas City, MO with the Midwest-nicers! 🇺🇸

My name's Rebeca and I'm very fond of animals, cycling, cinema, food and beer.
I'm currently working as a Spanish culture and language ambassador in a private school in KC.

I've always been into volunteering and supporting immediate local communities. Most of the projects I've taken part in have been environment-related.

I'M VAXXED! 💉

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

... because I travel mostly alone and I really enjoy myself meeting with locals to hang out with! I do resonate with the altruist core of the CS philosophy too.

Also, when you stagnant in a place and you get to host a CS... it just sparkles it all!

Interests

I'm a cinephile so whenever I can catch a film festival or hit any theatre, there I am! I love sharing a low-lit common space with strangers.

I LOVE meeting with foreigners wherever I feel like a local and viceversa. I just find it so stimulating when you meet and connect with people!!

I should also highlight my drive towards food and cooking! I feel pity for the ones who keep track of calories... I just go ahead with all kinds of food but eat in moderation!

Dogs? Who said dogs? I'm the kind who pets every single dog being walked on the streets!!

Books and academic literature - mostly dealing with gender, sexuality and culture studies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've ridden on a hot-air ballon over Capadoccia, Turkey - definitely one of the most majestic places I've ever been to!

I've been to Moulin Rouge, Paris - WHAT A SHOW!

I've hiked La Caldera de Taburiente, La Palma - definitely one of the most demanding trails I've ever hiked!

I've biked across the state of Missuri thru THE KATY TRAIL! 4-days non-stop pedaling!

Teach, Learn, Share

Life is nothing but lights and shadows.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm super fond of cooking, film debates and dancing! I LOVE talking about personal experiences; how people's behaviour change whenever you cross borders...
