About Me

ABOUT ME

So hard to describe myself and don't really much excited about doing it, so I'm just gonna list a few points about me - some of them quite absurd though -.

1. I'm 25.

2. I am from a small village called Moja close to Vilafranca del Penedès in Catalonia.

3. I lived in Barcelona while studying and also after studying (always sharing a flat; rentals in Barcelona are expensive you guys).

4. I studied Primary Education as a career.

5. I moved to England, specifically to Reading when I finished university.

6. I worked as an aupair in UK.

7. I learnt Italian by myself (I guess for Spanish and Catalans is not that complicated).

8. I don't know if I wanna work as a teacher in a school and settle down or work as a teacher abroad (maybe it's the 25 years old crisis).

9. I worked for a carsharing company while I was studying and that were the best years of my life.

10. That job I mentioned in point number 9, gave me the opportunity to work for Audi.

11. I quit my job and moved to Switzerland in 2018.

12. I live in Küsnacht now and I'm working as a Spanish and English private teacher.

PHILOSOPHY

Karma is all I have to say.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm basically on Couchsurfing because I truly believe in the good in people. Let me explain myself.

Couchsurfing gives you the chance to meet new people, to share your experiences and to build new ones with them so I'm happy to believe that people will always be open - and open minded -, so you do not just share your room, your sofa and so on, but also your life. What Couchsurfing means to me, is the power to share your best and secret places so people like me while in other country, can feel deeply integrated.

2. Inferno (I read this one in Spanish, English and Italian - I guess I liked it -).

3. The Picture of Dorian Gray.

4. A confederacy of dunces.

5. Zorba the Greek (I bought this one in Greece, perfect timing).

6. Milk and Honey.

I could continue but there won't be more space in here.
