I grew up in Barcelona,Catalonia, at the Vila Olímpica neighborhood in a liberal and multicultural community by the sea. I always enjoyed having guests from around the world at home, showing them the city through our eyes, and I told myself that it was time to actually experience life as a foreigner!

After high school, I left Catalonia in and moved to Seattle in 2013 looking for new horizons and good people. Now I am a college student studying anthropology, and I am still exploring other academic areas that I love.

In Barcelona I used to enjoy looking for forgotten corners and map the most unique of the beaten path sites with my friends, and here In the US I love exploring Washington State and this whole continent, and I am always looking forward on road trips and escapes from everything.

I also love theater and slam poetry, if you know of events like this let me know!

Por que estou no Couchsurfing?

When I came to live here in Seattle, It took me a while to get to know the locals and make good friends, and I am a 100% that this wouldn't have happened if I had known of Couchsurfing. How is it possible that I didn't know of its existence and its amazing people?

This year I became very good friends with a girl who got to know all her friends through Couchsurfing, and it has opened my eyes to the world of traveling and also hosting and sharing our experiences!

Interesses

I am interested in traveling and especially seeing those sites that only natives know. I love reading, slam poetry and also catching up with the habit of writing my own poetry and pieces. I have three dogs and in Catalonia I used to have horses and practice natural horsemanship :)

One day, I would like to travel across Mongolia for a whole year by horse and foot , I don't know why but I've been attracted to this dream since I was like 9. Also, I love photojournalism and I used to spend hours watching eyewitness of the Guardian.

Músicas, Filmes e Livros

One of my favorite poets is Garcia Lorca. "Paisaje con dos tumbas y un perro asirio" is my favorite poem from him.

One of my other favorite poets is Bécquer. My favorite poem from him, ¨Rima V¨, would make a great and long epigraph :)

I love many movies, but I grew up with Lord of The Rings and Harry Potter, so it's part of my being. A really good movie that I don't understand why some people can't stand is "The tree of life" and also "Chihiro's Journey".

My favorite documentary director is the amazing Yann Arthus-Bertrand, and it was through his documentary "Home" that I told myself that I would try to make at least one documentary during my lifetime.

My favorite authors are Carlos Ruiz Zafón and Isabel Allende.

"The Tree of life", "Inglorious Bastards", "My name is Sam", Harvey Milk", Rebels with a cause" "Amélie", "Into the Wild", ....

Uma Coisa Incrível que Eu Fiz

I made an enormous last-minute surprise-visit to my best friend who is studying in Aberdeen, Scotland, when I visited Barcelona from Seattle during Christmas.

She had been dying to show me the Scotland she lives everyday, and I had been enchanted by Scotland since I visited it at 14.

So when I found a cheap flight to Edinburgh I borrowed a backpack, stuffed some warm clothes and boots and headed to the airport without even knowing how I would get to Aberdeen.

Once in Edinburgh I bought a train ticket to Aberdeen and I traveled 3 hours north, seeing how cliffs and little coast towns disappeared into the winter darkness.

You should have seen her face! it was the first time that I decided to make a last-minute travel by myself and every second was worth it.

O Que Posso Compartilhar com Anfitriões

My stories from Barcelona and my adventures here in Washington and the wild west in general.

Like the time I crossed paths with an american bear cub, he was meters away from me, and even though I was scared of the mother appearing anytime, he or she laid down in front of me , just chilling.

I can also cook you traditional Catalan food, such as "Pa amb tomàquet" and have a good time!
