About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Heading to Australia. Want to make the most of it! :D

ABOUT ME

I'm a dreamer, sensible, cheerful, smiling, positive, quiet, determined (& stubborn) Catalan chick.

I love travelling and getting to know people from different cultures & backgrounds.

I enjoy easy going, genuine, intelligent but tolerant conversations and that's what I'd like to find in CS.

IN: Affectivity, quietness, politeness, genuineness, smartness, multiculturality, travelling, clarity of mind, reflexivity, wittiness, tolerance, patience...

OUT: know-it-all, rudeness, superficiality, narcissism, being cheeky, extremism, smoking, heavy drinking, drugs...

PHILOSOPHY

Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear.
~Ambrose Redmoon

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My family and I hosted a friend of mine who became a couchsurfer after telling him about CS. I showed him the city around and even took him with me to the classes I was attending at university. We had a great time.

I also met a CS. friend for a coffee and dinning out in Barcelona. We were surprised we had some strong things in common: careers and our travelling passion.

Interests

Travelling, learning languages, everything related to psychology & teaching, making my own travel guides, reading, handmade jewelry, arts&crafts, snorkeling, kayaking, swimming. I want to try diving and surfing.
