Description

Hello there!!!
I come from Alaquàs (València)
With my recents 30 y.o, I have discovered the need to enjoy life and get rid of all the burdens that attach me . It means that I want to live consciously, taking full advantage of the beautiful things that life offers and learning from and with others.

After my burnout last summer at work my life idea has changed, I have become more mature and resilient. But also, I have put in the center of my life: experiences, feelings, people, the value of the friendship, my family and, of course, me.
It took me more than half a year to get out of the confort zone and open this account, there was something that scared me, maybe the uncomfortable fact of instability, losing my room in Berlin or having trouble to find the right place.

However, there's something even bigger that motives me: facing new experiences, going to share with different sort of people, with different backgrounds and different ways of living. Also, learning new languages is something that motives me, because is a way to know the cosmo-vision of societies. Right now, I am learning Italian and some Portuguese. In exchange I might share with you Catalan and Spanish as a first language and English.

Currently, I study Cultural Management Master via online and I'll be looking forward to get in touch with the cultural scene of the area. I do appreciate cultural heritage, cultural centers, museums, arts (in all the ways), photography, history or architecture. (It would be amazing to share it together) I want to dedicate time to make arts and crafts, get involved in art projects or just draw/pottery/paint in my spare time. It would nice to learn new skills as working with wooden (f.instance)

I love to walk around searching for the good old times in posters, old comercial signs, nice spots to enjoy a nice meal, nice book stores or libraries where to concentrate in my studies.

Cooking is one of my passions, but this is mindless if I can't share it. I also enjoy learning new recipes, sharing mine and cooking with company.

I expect to be surrounded (or at least people who are working to get them) by people with values of solidarity, respect to other people, trustful or honesty. I want to take with me new learnings and grow as a person after my stay.
