Hey there! It’s Estel :) if we become friends you can also call me Apel
I was born in Barcelona and raised in a little village close to Girona, Catalonia. I had to move to the capital to study in the university. I had the opportunity to study the thing I always wanted to study. I enjoyed a lot living in the city, but I've always knew my place was not there. So now I'm back in the town.

I think my passion is to learn, about everything. I’m usually an introvert but also I like to be around people which I’m comfortable with. I also love to travel. I'm not a big fan of cities and I always try to experience the countryside of everywhere I go.

I'm a really simply person. I love nature and animals. I'm really independent and calm. I try to experience the reality of the places where I go.

Perché sono iscritto su Couchsurfing

because it's simply nice

Can you give me a good reason not to be on it?
