CURRENT MISSION

Keep laughing

ABOUT ME

I have been living in the UK for the last 7 years, but I spent my childhood in Galicia and my university years in Madrid.

Here in London, I have a hectic life style (working intensily during the day and meeting colleagues and old friends in the evening).

But I also treasure the quiet pleasures of reading a clever book or watching a crazy foreign movie.

PHILOSOPHY

Everytime you think that life seems pointless, suddenly a perfect book or song comes along, or someone does something selfless... and you believe again that it is worth staying around.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

If you come to London, I could walk with you along the Thames and show you the exciting street markets...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

When my younger brother found out that I was going on holidays to Japan on my own, he sugested that this was the perfect opportunity to do CouchSurfing.

When I travel with friends, I don't get to meet new people. With Coushsurfing, I did.
