My name is Sandra, my close friends call me Sandy.

I consider myself friendly, easy going, adaptable, and open minded - what you see is what you get type of person.

I tend to be more introverted than extroverted at times. I prefer small gatherings over parties. My idea of a good time is sharing with friends and family over meals, table games, music and poetry, philosophical conversations , hiking and exploring in nature.

I am a free soul nomad at heart, have travel a lot over the years. I tend to enjoy solo travels though I can also enjoy the company of like minded people.

I was born in Venezuela, raised in the USA - currently calling Madrid, Spain home. Italian Mother, Spanish Father and a long history of European descendants.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My last host introduced me to this app. I have couchsurfed of sort while traveling in India and have loved it! I have made lots of new friends, shared amazing times, and made connections to last a lifetime.
I realized that Couchsurfing really fits well with my lifestyle and current life journey.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I see life as the accumulation of ordinary amazingness, extraordinarily ordinary 😂

Even waking up every day with a new clean slate is amazing enough for me 😆

But…if I must point out one thing….I completed the 800+ Kilometer hike from France to Spain called “Camino De Santiago”
