Overview
About Me
I'm 26 and I am a conference interpreter and English teacher. Like everyone on couchsurfing, I love traveling and discovering new places, thankfully my job helps me do that:D. I have lived in Cordoba, Seville, Dublin, Galway, Paris... with some stints in Geneva and now I am in La Spezia.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
At first I was doing lots of solo travel, which was fun and even necessary, but I have realized that hanging out with locals not only helped me get more out of my adventures but also help me learn the language faster (and in a much more fun way than sitting down with my language books). Also I come from a very non-adventourous family so its nice to be around people who "get it" and who want share the experience :)
Interests
Travelling (obviously), I particularly like exploring places on foot, improvising... snorkeling is a new hobby that I would really like to do wherever/whenever the conditions allow.
Food is a massive interest, and good coffee or glass of wine, I am really into psychology, what makes people tick... I am a TV series junkie (any superhero stuff, Game of Thrones, House of Cards, Orange is the new Black)...
But really, I just like a good conversation.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I took a solo trip to New Zealand and... everything there was amazing, really particularly bungee jumping, other than that... survive grad-school, manage to be financially independent AND pay for my own adventures... that's a pretty big accomplishment for me :P
Teach, Learn, Share
I can make you an origami shark, turtle, dragon, parrot, elephant, butterfly, stork, bunny, flower, fish, seahorse...
Also if you want to know how to dominate the Present perfect in English... sure, I can teach you that.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I can tell you anything you want to know about the south of Spain which is where most of my family lives and where I went to university and... more than anything I'll share any experience you would want to know about; travel, education, relationships even... I'm an open book.
