About Me

I'm a 25-year-old girl from Barcelona that looooves to travel but has usually no time because of university. I am an open-minded person, love to meet people from all over the world and explore new places and ways of life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It all started in August of 2017, when I had to move to Grenoble (France) to finish my master's degree. I had to attend the university's "welcome meeting" but I couldn't move into my dorm until four days later. As I didn't know anyone there, I thought it would be nice to try couchsurfing, so I created an account and started to look for a host. That is how I met Johanna - she hosted me for a few days at her busy little appartment and we had a great time. We went swimming, played board games and even went to a dance class!
Then I moved to Trier (Germany), as I did an internship in Luxembourg for 6 months. While I was (quite desperately) looking for a WG there, I was lucky that Emin hosted me in his dorm room for a few days.

Music, Movies, and Books

I guess the music that I love could generally be defined as Indie (+folk/pop/rock). And that would be some of the catalan current music groups as La iaia, Manel, Els amics de les arts, Joan Dausà, Joan Miquel Oliver, Bremen, Pau Vallvé... (give them a try if you don't know them, they are great!) and then on a more international level I listen to Passenger, Vance Joy, Keaton Henson, Dean Lewis, SYML, Sam Smith, Hozier, Mumford and Sons...

Everyone that knows me a bit, knows that I'm terrible at movies! It's not that I don't like watching movies, I do (well, as long as they are not scary), it's more that I haven't watched "the classics" and that I tend to forget about them very easily... And I also like reading novels, but I don't really have a favorite genre, I just go to a library and read the backs of some books and pick the ones that seem more interesting to me or the latest Murakami book that I still haven't read.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

For seven years I've been spending my summers taking part in international workcamps all around Germany, meeting people from all over the world and sharing a great time together while taking care of nature, renovating buildings or playing with children.

Teach, Learn, Share

Well, apparently I'm good at teaching the logic behind Korean structured writing and the basic Korean vowels with a dance, but I don't understand any Korean! ;) I can teach you basic music skills in any instrument you wish, except saxophone and other instruments with reeds, I can't figure out how to blow and make them sound, but I can teach you how to blow an origami bunny - not sexual at all, I promise!! ;)
