Hello Everyone!! My name is Alejandra Palma and am from a city called North Hollywood, located in Los Angeles County.

I attend University of California, Irvine located in none other the beautiful town Irvine near Newport Beach ( yes, just like the typical american movies you have seen :-))

I am spending my last and final year of my studies at the University of Barcelona. Being in Europe since July 2015 has been truly amazing and eye opening from meeting so many people and learning so many new things from them!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

After experiencing my first couch surfing experience, organized by one of my friends, in Palma Mallorca, I became in aw of how much someone can learn from a host! It truly makes your traveling experience way way way more unique and fun!

Interests

One of my main interests currently is powerlifting. It has been a new and challenging, but amazing experience so far. Not only has it helped me become stronger physically, but also mentally. Strength training is addicting :-)

Another interest of mine is cooking! With my mother's tips and countless youtube videos, I have been able to stir up some awesome dishes. I love being creative and eating!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well I guess one amazing thing so far is moving to another country so far away home and living on my own here in Barcelona. It has been eye opening towards who I really am and discovering what I am truly passionate about. Meeting new people countlessly here has been so amazing. Just living, breathing, and eating in a whole new culture has been so life changing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can definitely teach Hosts some Spanish. Growing up bilingual in the States has its perks! :)

I love dancing. It is how I grew up.All my life dancing! So,... if interested I can show you a thing or two about a few latin dances (Cumbia, Merenge, and Salsa).
