About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To Learn

ABOUT ME

I'm a girl who is not afraid of changes, in fact I'm allways looking for different people, activities and places. Having allways something different to tell, looking for stories I feel more alive.Monotomy is death lol. I'm very very talkative! so maybe sometimes you have to stop me to leave your ears rest :) but I enjoy so much listening the other people too, I love to learn and being in touch with people is a good way to do it. My passion since I was little are books. Well I enjoy also with the cinema and the music but books definitively are my love.I don't love just to read them, I like to write as well, little tales, sometimes poems, short stories...

PHILOSOPHY

Tempus fugit!we never would be too much worried about troubles because they won't be forever. we have allways reasons to enjoy the moments of happines too because they are not forever. being allways awake and with the eyes wide open we'll be ready for good things even in the sad moments. I'm a persong who is doesn't afraid of what other people take as a risk. I'm not afraid about swiming-pools withouth water, I'm not afraid of changes, I'm not afraid about saying what I have on my mind or trying to do my dreams for truth.I don't like to know how to do thing withouth doing it. ACTIONS make the difference. But whatever I do I allways try not to bother anyone. My decissions in live have to have an effect on my. I try allways to be respectfull with the freedom and choices of the other people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like to do flashmobs :) also I enjoy very much going to weekly meetings. Unluckly I have not allways time to do it. If I'm in my city (normally I'm not because I move quite) I love to show my city to the people. I like too going to the language exchange meetings and cafés.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I started with CS some years ago when I moved to Luxembourh but little by little I was getting more involved in it for example going to pillow fights! he he and that was quite fun.Then I did almos the same in Madrid and in Asturias I went to twoo weekly meetings. I have participate in a meeting done in Paris too. Thanks to CS I could organize a big travel with other couchsurfers. That was very interesting because before whe didn't know each other and it was a great experience with lots of adventures and anecdotes.It was really useful and interesting when I did a trip around the Nord of France, as I had not much time to know the cities I had and appoitment in every one with a CS who show me the city and with who I could take a beer or eat something typical. Thanks guys!During the months I was living in Lyon CS people help me to enjoy the city. I did very good friends and I went to the weekly meetings, to some parties and to the language or poliglote meetings as well. A great idea to practice foreing languaes :)

Interests

I've study History and now I'm studying Anthropology too. So I love to know things about what human beans did and are doing arround the whole world. I love to know different points of views about everything. Of course I LOVE TO TRAVEL. I love cinema. When I'm sad I want to see films wich make me cry lol and when I'm happy films wich make me laught. Allways looking for radical feelings lol. I love music too but in general all kinds. Classical, film music, Rock&Roll, even techno he he but talking about pop and rock I think I'm more on the 60's, 70's and 90's he he the classics will never die!Of course I love stories. The stories someone tell me. The stories I can read in a book. The stories I can write in a white paper... it's not by casuality that I've studied History :P

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most "crazy" thing I did was going to Asia with people I never met before. I met then by CS and some forums on the web. We where preparing our travel during months and finally we met!three of us in Madrid. We went to Moscow toguether, then in Ulanbaataar we met the other three components of the travel. After a week in Mongolia we took the train to Beijing and finally we traveled arround China for 13 days taking trains, buses and planes. I could make a dream for truth!

Teach, Learn, Share

I enjoy sharing my time with people. Over all taking beers arround a table of a bar, trying to "fix" the world. It's very interesting if we can do cultural or language exchange.Everyone as allways something to learn or to teach to the others!cooking, playing music, telling stories, rinding bicicles... he he
