My name is Ale and I'm 20 years old. I was born in Barcelona but I've always lived in Sant Cugat del Vallès, a residential town 20 minutes away. I studied at an international school until I was 18 and, soon, I'm going to start the last year of my degree in Audiovisual Communication. In the future I'd like to be a film producer or a screenwriter. My people describe me as a creative, funny, talkative and a little crazy girl!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was 16 years old I spent 2 months in South Africa - near Johannesburg - living with a host family. It was incredible and very different from Spain. There was a wide diversity of cultures, each with its own language and typical dance; the classes in high school were very chaotic; meat was eaten using the hands; at church, people sung most of the time, etc. It fascinated me!

What I Can Share with Hosts

With Hosts I can share, above all, my good humor and my desire to talk. Also, my knowledge about the city of Barcelona: the best spots to see, the most interesting monuments and cultural routes, the tastiest restaurants and the bars/clubs with the coolest vibes.

Countries I’ve Visited
