About Me

I am 27 years old. I have always lived in Castelldefels (20min form Barcelona) except for 5 months in 2012, when I lived in Texas because I studied at the University of Texas in Austin.
I studied business administration and a master in marketing and now I have just finished a master in events organization.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I used couchsurfing in the USA in 2012 for the first time. I LOVED the experience. I went to Boston & NY and stayed with 4 different hosts because I wanted to meet people and it was a completely awsome experience: they showed us places which we wouldnt had discovered on our own, we partied and did turism together, we cooked spanish food for them...

My profile is created in 2015 because in 2012 we used my friend's profile to find a host and I didnt create my own profile until 2015

I am willing to live alone and be able to host and meet people from different countries because i think it is a good way to learn about other cultures without even moving from your home :) but by now I just use CS when I travel as I live with my parents and cannot host at their home...

Interests

My passions are skiing, snowboarding and of course travelling! I have been an skiing instructor for 10 years (weekends and holidays while I studied). I love travelling and meeting new people and different cultures.

I like football and I am a Barça fan, I always go to the stadium to see the games and sometimes I am lucky and I can go to Champions League or Spanish Cup finals.

I like going out with friends, watching movies, listening to music and going to concerts, reading...

I like animals in general and Im in love with dogs, so I volunteer in a shelter for abandoned dogs and cats. I go there to help and I make really nice bracalets which i sell in animals shops and vets in my town to rise funds for the shelter.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I normally listen to comercial music.
Movies: pay it forward is a movie that I really like.
Books: I used to read a lot, now I don't have time... I dont want to sound freak but the ones I like the most are Harry Potter as I started the 1st one when I was 9 and I grew up reading that books.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I participated in a "party" of Masai people in Tanzania, it was not a celebration done for tourists, it was a real masai party. Incredible experience!

For me it is not amazing, it is just a normal thing I do whenever I can in winter, but some people finds it amazing. I have skied during the night with full moon and nothing else to light up the way down.

What I Can Share with Hosts

lots of experiences of my travels.
I also like cooking so I could teach them how to cook something Spanish like tortilla de patata.
