About Me

ABOUT ME

¡Hola! I'm a spanish girl from Zaragoza that loves discovering new places and meeting new people from different places around the world. I'm an open-minded, outdoorsy and enthusiastic girl.

Mountains and nature are my passion and I run away there whenever I can, on my own with my dog or with friends. I love water and the adrenaline of jumping from heights, therefore I love canyoning and I am learning how to guide and become independent. When it is not canyoning season, I spend my time doing sport, cooking, listening to music and going to concerts, reading about everything, spending time with my dog and friends or just flowing with life.

Since a while, I am really getting into ecologism, how to live more sustainably and respecting the environment. I am also super interested in learnign about medicinal plants as I am currently living in Cusco (Perú) and the alternative medicine is a big thing here.

I am very curious about many things and I ask so many questions when I find someone I am interested in what they do. My background is in International Development which let me travel to so many places. I have lived in different countries in Europe, Africa and South America but my curiosity about the outside world is still increasing. My next destination will be (hopefully) Colombia. I wanna get a van at some point in my life to move and find good weather throughout the year.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books... so many favourites depending on the moment. I love recommending books to people.
A few that inspire me: "Into the wild"-Jon Krakauer, "La mujer habitada"-Gioconda Belli, "Arms, germs and steel"-Jason Diamond.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I am in the process of climbing the 212 peaks more than 3000 metres altitude in the Pyrenees. Hopefully I will make it real someday.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Chat, infinite curiosity, nice food and space.

Countries I’ve Lived In

England, France, Ghana, Peru, Senegal
