Overview
About Me
I used to be a Spanish teacher in Turkey, currently i am an English teacher in Spain. I have this constant need to do new things and meet travellers, but i am ok with that:) I am excellent and forgetting languages. But i love re-learning them.
I like cooking but i cannot guarantee excellent results, the same goes for sports and using maps.
Everyone has a story to tell, i try no to forget this.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
After living abroad, i feel There is a part missing in my life: the hospitality you offer and receive whe you are away from home, the sharing.
Also , i love hanging out with new people.
