About Me

I'm a very outgoing person. I like literature and culture, in general. I prefer to stay in with a good movie, or go out to eat some cheeses with wine, rather than going out to a club. Nonetheless, I can stay up all night talking if a good conversation comes along.
I lived abroad and since I moved back to Catalonia I have been missing meeting new people, from different cultures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It all came when a friend had a work colleague from an office abroad over on a business trip. We had lunch all of us together and I offered to show her around and take her out to dinner. I realised I had done that for other people before and I really enjoyed it. So, for now, I am here to meet people who visit my city and want a "Cicerone", as we say, i.e. someone to show them around.

Interests

I like literature, culture, music, the arts in general. I also like history and I am now immerse in the wonderful world of the multimedia.

Music, Movies, and Books

I don't have a favourite music, of all times, but one particular song/album/artist for a year or a period. I am right now a lot into vocal, pop, folk and Occitan music. But my favourite artists are Alanis Morissette, Björk, Najwa Nimri and Mecano.
My favourite movies, in no particular order: Presque Rien, Les Amours imaginaires, Three Colors: Blue, Il y a longtemps que je t'aime, Les Rouseaux sauvages. As you see, quite frenchie.
My favourite books, in no particular order: Everything Is Illuminated, Alice in Wonderland, Nineteen Eighty-Four, Brave New World, While England Sleeps, Le Petit Prince, Aloma...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Huh! That's a very hard question. I don't know. Cakes, in general :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I love learning, and I mean learning, not studying. I am quite a bad student, although I have improved over the years. I always say that I like people with curiosity, that is, a person that can teach, learn and share.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Well, I come from a mixed background, Catalan and Spanish, I lived abroad, I like culture, and, I don't know, I do pretty good pancakes.
