Hi there! My name is Alexandra and i'm 19 y/o. I live in Girona, Spain and I'm studying Medicine. I live here with my boyfriend (Rafa, 27 y/o, Salesman at Apple and Physiotherapist) and my Pug, a lovable, fluffy dog named Bacon. I'm not currently working, though I'd love to work at a cinema (before I graduate, of course) because there's nothing I enjoy more than spending time watching films and being surrounded by cinematography.
I also love spending afternoons on bed watching tv series non-stop, and watching all Oscar-nominee films before the Oscar gala. I play the spanish and the electric guitar and the ukulele. Sometimes I spend hours and hours playing different songs and I'm not even aware of it.
We are a couple who enjoy traveling and doing a lot of new things but we also enjoy spending the entire day in bed doing nothing. Rafa is way more outgoing than me, but we complement each other just fine, so we can sometimes have a nice and funny time with someone, and sometimes we can be relaxed and just chill.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think it's a great way of getting to know people and we can all have a nice time traveling and discovering new cultures and new ways of living.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy all kind of music, I am mostly a great fan of Arctic Monkeys but I listen from Biggie Smalls to Daddy Yankee or Nina Simone.
I'm actually studying Medicine because it's my dream since I was like three years old (there are pictures of mini-me with syringe and doctors stuff), but if I wouldn't be studying this I'd be trying to make a living from writing poetry, not because I'm good at it but because I enjoy it a lot. My favourite poets are E. Cummings, Elvira Sastre, Rupi Kaur, Carlos Salem, Bukowski and Benedetti. What I like most about poets like Rupi, Salem or Bukowski is that they don't really follow any rule and just write whatever they feel, and I feel it like magic.
I enjoy comics like Persepolis or Valentina, but also Marvel comics, Watchmen, V for Vendetta... My favorite comics are the Sandman collection, I think Neil Gaiman is a genius and also the novels he had written with Terry Pratchett are awesome.
I honestly enjoy every kind of movie, but my three favorite movies are American Beauty, Her and I Origins. I'm in love with Kevin Spacey and Scarlett Johansson, I think they're great.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've seen the Arctic Monkeys on concert, and next day I was voiceless because I spent the entire concert screaming their songs with them.
