Born in Barcelona and have lived abroad for many years. Back in Barcelona since 2017. I am an actress, a playwright, a stage director, a poet, a researcher, an interpreter, and others. I am now 65 and I am still very active, both politically and culturally. I am quite involved in the efforts of Catalonia to gain its independence using peaceful methods, and I also write, play, and travel as much as I can, which is not as often as I would like to. Nevertheless, stress is never good so I take things as they come. I have many friends all over the world and often receive them at my tiny flat in Barcelona. It is a one bedroom flat and it has a couch in the living-dining room-kitchen, so the only inconvenient is that there is not any room for privacy for my guests, and I can only receive one guest at a time, or at the most two who do not mind sharing this double sofa bed, but everyone who has come has really enjoyed and felt happy about the visit.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I will keep traveling in the future, and it is nice to think that I may have places to stay while touring Europe, for example, in exchange for my own place. I also like very much to receive visitors at home, if they are nice, interesting people. I was a member of Air BNB for a while, and on the main it was a nice experience, and I think this is even better, because it is a real exchange, person to person, no money involved.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share walks, books, films, converstion...

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer my guests my double couch_bed in the living room, pillows, sheets and blankets. This means that I can only receive one or at the most two people at a time who do not mind sharing the bed and who do not mind not having a private space in my flat.
I can offer them my kitchen tools and my very small kitchen if they want to cook something for themselves, as well as some space in the fridge. I can offer them a hot shower in an also small bathroom.
I can share my knowledge of languages, of theatre, long walks, conversation, books to read while they are at the flat, film advice, and depending on how busy I am, a little of my beautiful city of Barcelona...
