My name is Anna Nicolas. I live in Barcelona. Spain. I just graduated from Chemistry at University of Barcelona. I have spend these two past years studying anf working full time during summer, meaning I have had no vacations. I am now in that poing of life where I don't know what I want to do in the future and which is my passion, so as I love travelling and discovering new cultures, I am taking some time to do so.

I am a very sociable person, I love talking to people and enriching myself by doing so. I love communicating with other cultures. My native languages are Spanish and Catalan, and I have studied English and French for more than 10 yrs. Two years ago, I wanted to try something new so I started studying Chinese.

I also love practicing sports, I run, go to the gym, cycle, swim. On november 2021 I run my first half marathon, and this past February I joined salsa clases thanks to a friend who introduced me to this world, thank you Rosa!

I believe we are not borned learned, but we learn on the way and there is nothing like exchanging ideas to see the world in different perspectives, at the end we all live a bubble, but there are way other ways to live.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

love to travelling and meeting new people as well! I think that travelling just by going to hotels and visiting things does not really let you inmerse in the real culture of the place. This can only be done by people who live there, they show you what they usually do, you get to exchange knowledge and at the same time you are living a unique experience, that otherwise would not be posible.

In the summer of 2019 I did an interrail in Europe, visited more than 10 countries and I did couchsurfing in many of them. It has been one of the best experiences of my life, so far. I can explain so many anecdotes from that trip... that If I had gone traveling with my parents I couldn't explain.
