I'm Cristina, from Barcelona. I’m pleased to meet you if you’re reading this :)

Let me introduce my travel journey a bit.. haha since a couple of years ago, I'm travelling solo around the world, as it's the easiest way to travel with flexibility on dates and it allows me to get to know locals or other travelers wherever I go.
I got the Bachelor’s degree in Management and Business Administration a couple of years ago and I'm currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Digital Marketing.
I'm passionate about photography and marketing, so I wanted to specialize on that field.

I would define myself as a very easy-going and laidback girl, although I'm always up to new adventures!
I enjoy making jokes and I’m cheerful most of the time, you will always see me smiling!
I enjoy meeting up with people from different backgrounds and countries, so I can learn more about their culture and lifestyles and in exchange let them know about mine!

Lastly, but not least, I would like to clarify that THIS IS NOT A DATING APP, so please don’t start a conversation with hey dear! firstly we don’t even know each other and secondly it’s so unrespectful!
My aim is to get to know local people of the country where I’m travelling to or hangout with other travellers to explore the city and have a nice chat! I would also love to show you my city if you’re in Barcelona and I’m available to meet up :)

I share my travel journeys on my IG if you wanna take a look of where I’ll be travelling next:

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Last year I did my first solo trip far away from home, my destinations were Malaysia and Singapore.
I was traveling for 35 days without any plans in advance, just a few days booked on a random hostel. I love going with the flow and change my plans depending on my mood and experiences of a place.
During this trip, I achieved many dreams such as doing snorkeling in Perhentian Islands (Malaysia) surrounded by baby sharks and see in person turtles in its natural habitat.

Lastly but not least, the most incredible thing I did in this trip was undoubtedly meeting people from all over the world, sharing different cultures and getting inspired by them.

Currently, I'm about to start my new solo trip in Asia, traveling to Thailand from the 20th till the first week of August. Afterwards I’ll be heading to the Philippines (1st - 30th August) and lastly to Singapore for a few days before flying back to Barcelona on the 4th of September.

I won’t be in Barcelona from the 19th of July till the 4th of September because I’ll be travelling through Southeast Asia 😊

Don't hesitate to contact me if you would like to host me and share some travel experiences & explore or simply meet up! :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I’m always up to new adventures and trying new stuff. I’m the kind of person who’s always cheerful and eager to show you my culture and travel experiences, giving you tips about Barcelona, hanging out to explore some spots (I love buddhist temples & hike to the top of a mountain for finding viewpoint), go to a rooftop to see the views of the city from the top, try spicy food or simply have a good conversation to end up the day
