I'm Aira, originally from Barcelona, but I have lived in England (to learn English while working) and the Netherlands (to study Liberal Arts, which I just finished in January 2018), and perhaps I could add Belgium, where I spent 6 months as a volunteer in a co-housing community.
To me one (or perhaps THE ONE) biggest challenges has always been to decide... in general I guess haha (I just realised that as I was writing) but I meant to say: what to do with my life. You know, what job will I do, or in what will I invest all my energies so eventually something will be built. I haven't figured that out yet, and perhaps never will, so now the challenge is to live with that uncertainty:)

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

"Meeting people" has become a bit of a cliché thing to say, and indeed, sometimes you cross people that leave you untouched and sometimes a couple of days is enough to remember all your life. I believe we can always learn through relationships, and it is up to you and not the other person!

兴趣

Perhaps they are so broad that I find it hard to focus on one thing. I really like to draw, I do it everyday on any kind of surface, then I lose my drawing or give them to someone. I really like to make presents as well, when I find the right thing. And I love theatre.

教，学，和分享

Cook some vegetarian dishes, Spanish or English... I don't know, what is it to teach? what is it to learn?

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

A good conversation, a walk, a vegetarian dish, a drawing, a mosaique (would need to stay for a few days though;), curiosity
