About Me

I live now in a small studio, so I will very rarely host people. I do not answer any request that is not personalized.

CURRENT MISSION

Being happy :)

ABOUT ME

Grew up in Spain and went to Burlington to study for a year. Loved how friendly and relaxed the people are and decided to stay for another year :) And then another one. And then another one. And then I left :( But now I'm in Amsterdam :)

I like to smile, have good conversations, mountains, music, food, creating adventures, my nephew and my niece, read, laugh, sarcasm, learn from people and a thousand of little things.

And remember, this is not a website to get free housing or to get laid, if you don't share the CS spirit don't send me a request.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Surfing
Feb 2013: Oahu (Hawaii)
May 2013: Lisboa (Portugal)
Apr 2014: Cayman Islands
Summer 2015: Spain, Portugal and Italy

Hosting
2012-2015 Over 100 people in Burlington, VT (USA), all of them great.

Hanging out with people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
It's a great idea, it gives you the chance to meet people that you would never meet otherwise, and those people are usually the ones that you can learn more from. But there are two groups of people that are harming the CS spirit and makes me rely on other sites more and more (1) people who think it's just free housing, (2) guys who only accept girls.
