About Me

Hola! I'm Adeline and I've been living for the past 6 years in Barcelona. I'm passionate about the environment (that's my job) and local culture, will never say no to a local dish or glass of wine, and can tell you all about what's going on in my favourite city. I often travel with my partner, Luis, who is an artist and graphic designer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'll let one of my favourite quotes speak for myself: "Traveling is a brutality. It forces you to trust strangers and to lose sight of all that familiar comfort of home and friends. You are constantly off balance. Nothing is yours except the essential things - air, sleep, dreams, the sea, the sky - all things tending towards the eternal or what we imagine of it." (Cesar Pavese)

Interests

Basically, I'm a fooooodie, passionate about movement (all dance forms), always on the lookout for street festivals and local cultural events. My heart constalntly balances between the city and the countryside, between the sea and mountains. So I try to fit it all!
