About Me

*Travelling so can't host at the moment!*

Born in Málaga at a very early age. Grown progressively older since.

I'm very chilled with people wanting to spend time/do things together or just do their own thing and just need a place to sleep for a couple of days.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I use Couchsurfing because the original idea is dope and it brings together a community of diverse, wonderful people.

Interests

The dream is to witness the sudden, complete collapse of the entire system we live in while eating popcorn (preferably salty). In the meantime I really like to travel.

  • arts
  • books
  • hitchhiking
  • feminism
  • environmental justice
  • revolution

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I currently hold a world record on failed attempts to quit smoking.

Teach, Learn, Share

- How to play chess 'almost'
like Bobby Fischer (without ending up in jail)
- How to make a paper boat
that will definitely sink every time
- How to roll backwards
- Other completely useless stuff

What I Can Share with Hosts

A semi-decent Spanish potato omelette maybe?
