Hi! I'm Érica, I live in Madrid and I'm a social worker. I work in a NGO where we work to support people in social exclusion to find a job. I have also worked in summer camps, this was a great experience where I had the opportunity to learn a lot about coexistence, exchange and about myself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I heard about CS, the first thing I thought was the great opportunity to know the cities that I will visit with a local companion / reference and staying over at locals.
I would like to meet people, share experiences and create bonds.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was child I spend one month all summers with my biological dad. He was a sideshow worker, his office was a track of bumper cars. One month a year I lived in a fun fair!!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach Spanish, sign language (Spanish), gifts packaging and some crafts as well.
I would like to learn more English. I have a basic level (sometimes I need the suport of a translator online). I think CS is a great opportunity to improve my English.
We can also share our trips and experiences.^^

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would like say I can offer a delicious spanish food, but I`m not a good cook, however I can be a good kitchen assistant.
Also, I can offer conversation, beer and good stories.
When you visit Spain, I can become your guide and tell some tips for your trip =)
