Hello! My name is Ariana but everyone calls me Ari. I'm from Caracas, Venezuela. I'm 30 years old and work in customer service in beautiful Barcelona :). I came to study here in 2009 and I decided to stay and enjoy all the great things Barcelona has to give.

If I had to describe myself I would say I'm a friendly, honest, caring, creative and openminded person :). I am easy going and try to enjoy small things and appreciate every moment as much as I can :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm in Couchsurfing because I think its a way to bring people closer together and to travel in a more intimate way where you can actually share time and experiences with locals :)

Interests

I like design in general, art, music, books and films. But my two true passions are cooking and animals :). I also love yoga and running. Hiking is something I don't do much but absolutely love as well! I think being in nature its very importante for the mind and allows us to take a break from the hectic lives we have in the city.
