We are Judit and Adrià, a couple of 30-year-old Catalans currently fulfilling our dream of travelling around the globe. Judit is an experienced nurse and Adrià is a biotechnologist-neuroscientist, and after working hard for five years in the UK we managed to get ready for the trip!🌎🌍🌏

We’ve lived abroad for several years for professional reasons, but we have also taken the most of it at the personal level. Thanks to that experience, we’ve met people from all over the world and we now have friends scattered across many countries – we’re taking the chances that we have to visit them during our travels, but we're looking forward to meeting new people along the way :) We’re eager to being exposed to other ways of thinking and doing, and we feel like we can communicate with all kinds of human beings.🙏🤎

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We're new to Couchsurfing, but we think it can be a unique way to get to know places and their people!

Interests

Both of us have been scout leaders, managing groups of 11-14 year-old kids. Since the age of scout kids ourselves, we developed a love for mountains, hiking, and nature🌳. We also really enjoy everything that has to do with the ocean🌊: (wind)surfing, kayaking, snorkelling/diving... All of this has contributed to an environmental awareness that has shaped the way we live our lives.

Other things we really like:

-🍳Cooking (and eating!🍴): as good Southern Europeans, we think food is a way to celebrate life. We enjoy preparing meals and also getting to know local dishes and recipes.

-📷Photography: especially wildlife photography - we're taking pictures of all the amazing new friends from other species that we're coming across 🦈🐢🐳🦜

-📚Local culture: we love being immersed in the culture of the places we're lucky to experience. Language, history, gastronomy, customs, worldviews... that's the whole point of travelling for us.

-🖖Learning manual skills: this is something we're getting into thanks to volunteering projects where we've been involved. So far we've been getting our hands on bamboo construction, coconut oil production, gardening and ship deck maintenance!
