Please note: if you are looking for a host in Barcelona city, I am NOT your woman. I live about 16km out of the city. Please read my profile in detail before contacting me!

I'm a well-travelled (predominantly) vegan, activist, cyclist, queer Scottish woman who has decided to make a home for herself in Catalunya. I moved to Barcelona in 2012, and after 4 years in the city have moved a few kilometres out of the madness to live in the green - where I can make fires, grow my own veg and walk barefoot and fancy free!

I am an avid cycler, LOVE food, and a fan of meeting new people from different cultures. I love cycling around the city and surrounds and soaking up the culture as much as I love seeking out green and peaceful places, climbing in the mountains or swimming in rivers or the ocean. I speak English and Spanish (and a wee bit of Catalan).

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to learn more practical skills: knitting, carpentry, gardening etc. I can offer decent cooking and recipes, and a love of exploring places/things/people. I always need help around the house and garden - generally making things out of free stuff I find in the street - shelves, chairs, bookcases etc!
