Hi everyone! Gemma here! I am a twenty-six-years-old girl, outgoing, energetic and curious. My home is in a city near Barcelona, surrounded by vineyards, but I try to make one everywhere I travel (even if it's just for a few days)! I am also talkative and curious, so I really enjoy sharing time with people and learning about them, their mindset and their culture.

I used to work in publishing, but I have just quitted my job to embark on an exciting new advenure across the Atlantic: I will be starting a MA in Baltimore (USA).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am passionate about getting to know other cultures, but my favourite part about it is meeting locals wherever I go (that's the best way you can really learn something new about cultures, after all!). I also really love learning about folklore and traditions of the places I visit. Although I'm new on this platform, I have friends who have used it widely and have had amazing experiences. Now it's my time, hopefully :-)

Music, Movies, and Books

I am really interested in Caribbean culture, so I read/listen to/watch many artistic expressions by artists from the region and the diaspora!

Music: cumbia, dancehall, calypso, rumba, rap...
Books: I am really

Movies: I really enjoy movies by emergent film makers, tackiling contemporary concerns. I'm starting to watch Third and Fourth cinema movies.
A movie I have recently watched and loved: Petite Maman - Céline Sciamma
