About Me

I am a PhD in Chemistry (finally!) working as a researcher in ArcelorMittal Global R&D Spain. I like the culture of my region, I dance and sing traditional asturian music, I'm a member of the "Xeitu Traditional Dance Group" (https://www.facebook.com/XEITU-GRUPU-Tradicional-563424950342760/timeline/).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm in couchsurfing because i like to meet people and I think is a good initiative to help the others in accomodation, information about a place, typical sites, etc. I also love to meet new people, their traditions, food and way of life.

Interests

I'm in love of TED and TEDx talks (i've been in TEDxGijón 2014, TEDxLeón 2013-17). I do sports (dance and crossfit). I love cooking (and eating of course!!) and the most...meeting new people!

Music, Movies, and Books

I like deephouse and electronic music, thriller films and books. I like suspense stories...but just in film or books not in real life! I am very calmed and friendly.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I danced in the Stade du Mostoir (Lorien, France) in 2013 and 2017 in front of 4000 people and be recorded and retransmited through the national TV, cool huh? :)
I also swam with dolphins and I did snorkel in the caribean sea. I wrote a PhD dissertation (that is my little baby).
