About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I live in Cheltenham, UK, with my husband, Amit and soon also our little one.

PHILOSOPHY

Let's all be part of the world and be connected

Dream as if you'll live forever, live as if you´ll die today

Dans les yeux de quelqu'un on ne peut pas lire mais on imagine

Solo los peces muertos siguen la corriente del río

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I stayed at Nicole's in Aachen, Germany and it was great! she was a nice host! And I also host Collin, in Aranjuez, which was a whole experience as well xD, going out to find a lot of "guiris" here in Madrid...

i hope i will have other opportunities to do couch surfing or to meet people here. I think this is really exciting and it makes me feel freer and closer to the whole world than ever!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

An Erasmus... great experience.
A trip around India, wonderful.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach you how to cook a Spanish omelette or how to prepare the best "sangría". I could teach you any of the languages i talk. I´m also passionate about cinema and i could show you some Spanish films or any films i consider special, and i'd love to listen to your likes too! I'm learning to play guitar, i'd love to learn any other language you could teach me, I enjoy having conversations about the world, the universe, religions, what is your vision... I think we learn a lot from others' opinions, from the way others see the world...
