About Me

LIVING in Switzerland right now 😉

I consider myself a genuine, positive, friendly, adventurous, fun and open minded person.

My philosophy of life is try to be as happy as you can every single day and look always at the good side of things.

I am an animal lover and a very outdoor person who enjoys being around nature, walking everywhere, exercising (my addiction right now is Crosfit), hicking and go with the flow.

Looking for meeting new people, making new friends but nothingelse so don't contact me if your interests aren't the same.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I love this way to travel!!! It gives me the opportunity to truly experience the countries where I go and also because I couldn't afford to get to travel the world if it was for people like you.

Interests

I like to enjoy life with small things, like the smell of flowers, to listen to the waves or to stare at a beautiful building or a landscape. I was born to experience this world and dont want to lose years of my life wondering what it could have happened.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like most of music. I like comedy, fantasy and romantic movies. Hunger games. Shutter Island. Willow. Inception. The beach. Nature documentaries. Fantasy books mostly but also based in real stories too, fiction... I love to read different things about food, medicine, countries, animales, nature, etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to Liverpool on my twenties to work as an aupair even I didn't speak English at all and didn't know anyone either.
Another amazing thing is the day that I decided to go vegan just to try and then I stayed for the animals.
Incredible could be the right word to describe the Camino, I walked as a solo pilgrim over 1000 km from France to Galicia in 30 days, it was the best experience ever!
Traveling solo for three months.
Slept in the Golden Bay, Italy, in my tent surrounded only by nature and wildness...

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach Galician and Spanish. I am a very good cooker so I can prepare something delicious with so little. I enjoy making people happy.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am full of stories and experiences to share and at the same time I am always willing to listen and learn new things. Love to laugh, have fun and enjoy life as much as I can. I can teach you Galician or Spanish and I can also share so many different delicious recipes.
