About Me

I am a student of Languages and Literature in Barcelona (English and German, actually), currently living far away from the city. I'd say that my willingness to learn and understand has led my inner-being to a restless curiosity. Indeed, I see myself as a curious young girl, with the urge to live new experiences and meet people to exacerbate the calm around me. I just want to get out of my comfort circle and expose myself to the unknown world outside. Besides this almost crave for living, I am a chill individual person, sociable, warm and easy to deal with. I am enthusiastic and sensitive.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe in it as an efficient way to meet nice people and travel around, which is always enriching and exciting.

Interests

I really don't know how to reduce my "interest" to general topics, but I'd say that literature is a good incentive for my daily life; I feel very related to the books I take in. A part from reading, I devote my free time to people I care about. I'm interested in other people's way of composing their thoughts and expressing theirselves.
I'm also into cinema and philosophy. Travelling has always attracted me.

Music, Movies, and Books

The last months I've been quite close to the american Lost Generation, and also to Borges, Cortázar, Kafka, Proust, etc.
I don't clearly remember titles I've been reading lately, but I deal with a profound interest in Avant-garde, existencialism, postmodernity, etc. "The Unbearable Lightness of Being" and Herman Hesse's works have accompanied me during a long time.
Within movies I have lately watched, I'd mention in particular Ginger & Rosa, The Dreamers, Eyes Wide Shut, Gone Girl, Melancholia, etc. Generally, I have been close to Lars Von Trier, Woody Allen, Ingmar Bergman, Bertolucci, and Nouvelle vague.
