About Me

I am an artist from Barcelona; I am currently studying Translation and Interpreting of Languages . If anyone is interested, this is my designer facebook page http://www.facebook.com/3ssentialdesign or my instagram profile www.instagram.com/3ssentialdesign/ .

I am a dynamic person who likes nature (especially animals), art and I am passionate about learning and photography, which increases my attitude towards travelling. I have quite a sarcastic sense of humour and sometimes I can be too curious for my own good and I can come across as a bit of a chatterbox hahah.

Although I am easy-going I am quite nonconformist when it comes to some aspects of life, I think it is very healthy to go out of your comfort zone and explore the world so you can understand it and see it through your own eyes and not through anyone else's. I like to surround myself of active and inspiring people who aren't afraid to dream and have their own point of view, even if it differs from the mainstream.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As a half English and half Spanish I have always had an open mind about other cultures and ways of life. I have also always enjoyed travelling, being in contact with other cultures. I think travelling is a way of expanding our minds and horizons, providing us with a priceless kind of knowledge, full of new feelings and experiences.

Although I am quite autonomous and independent (and therefore expect my guests to be so too), I would love to show those who come titbits of the "true city". I really enjoy showing some of the gems and joys of my city, those beautiful little spots where the inhabitants usually go and I think that mainstream tourism usually offers a very artificial experience.

I can't offer much for couchsurfers at the moment but I would be interested in doing so as soon as possible. I think it's a fantastic way of meeting new people that are willing to share a piece of their worlds and every time I have done it I have had wonderful experiences.
