About Me

I lived the first 24 first years of my life in Barcelona and I thought it was time to change so, I moved to Edinburgh in 2008 planning only to be here for one year to study English. However, I love it here and it's been over 8 years!

I live in the present. I like keeping things simple, I'm honest and I can be quite direct and blunt when I get to know people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have surfed and hosted a few times in the past and I hopefully I'll be able to do it again in the near furure. I have also attended quite a few CS meetings and other gatherings to meet travellers and locals.

I first learnt about couchsurfing through my flatmates back in the day when I moved to Edinburgh. I thought it was a great idea and always had fun when they had surfers around in our flat, so I started to go to some couchsurfing events and had great experiences.

Interests

I love travelling (what a surprise!), hiking, camping, snorkeling (damn Scottish weather).
I probably spend too much time daydreaming and on the internet. I love dancing.
I enjoy meeting new people, trying new activities and cooking new recipes and trying new foods and I love pizzaaaa too!
