About Me

I´m a 20 years old student from Spain, but now I am living in Warsaw (Poland) as a erasmus student. In Spain, I am from the north, Galicia, near to Portugal. My city is Santiago de Compostela, and I think it will be my favourite city ever! Santiago is the destiation of Camino de Santiago (Sant Jaques Way), lots of pilgrins each year arrive to my city walking from so much places in Spain and also France. Even it is a little city, I love it because of its charm, and because it's great for students!!!!
I am in my 3th year of kind of pedagogy, in my future I would like to be a teacher of primary school. I am studying it because I feel I can change something with this studies.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am in Couchsurfing because I think the best way to know one city is knowing the locals oh there, they can show you the best and less known places to understand the life of the city.

Interests

I love to travel around the world because I think is the best way to discover new places, new people and learn about other cultures. As I am living in Poland, I try to travel as much as I can... this year was kind of crazy in that sense.
I also love listening to music, and I even tried to play the piano... but I am not so good! I enjoy so much music festivals in Summer, last summer I was in Optimus Alive in Lisboa, where I listened very good international bands!!!!
One of my passions is cook and bake! I love to cook so I also love to cook typical spanish and galician food, and I am trying to learn to cook other types of food! I love to make good deserts (or not so good), and, if it is with chocolat it is better.
I also love animals, I have one dog in Spain and I love her so much, she's one more in the family. As I love animals, I am against in all types of discrimination or abuse to them... as the typical bullfights, the zoos... etc.

Music, Movies, and Books

Usually I listen Spanish independent or pop music, such as Love of Lesbian, Vetusta Morla, Dorian, El Columpio Asesino, Joaquin Sabina... etc.
I also listen international music (independent rock, pop, electro...), I love some classic groups as The Beatles or Pinkfloyd, and also actual bands as Arctic Monkeys, MGMT, Foster the People, Tame Impala, Chvrches, Crystal Fighters, Florence and the Machine, Bastille, Regina Spektor, Of monsters and Men, Mumford and Sons, Radiohead, Miles Kane, Franz Ferdinand, Metronomy, Warpaint, Is Tropical or Arcade Fire.
One of my favourites films is The Pianist by Roman Polanski. I think is very shock to see how was like the city where you are living 70 years ago.
I don't read as much as I should because I don't have too many time.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I am not really sure if I think to keep trying... Some crazy things I have done is to decide one trip from one day to another without thinking too much about it...
Also, I have done so muuuch hours to a concert... i think about 12 or even more to see my favourite spanish band!!!!

Teach, Learn, Share

I would like to share recipes with people around the world to improve my level!!!!! I would like to cook real asian food, also italian, french,,, food everywhere!!!!
I also love to speak about music and discover new bands!
