Hi, my name is Hayat - it means Life. I’m from Madrid and I’m currently living in London.

I love reading, eating, dancing and speaking. Also travelling and meeting new people and new cultures.

I love enjoying life! I’m usually up for any plan, 10km run race on Sunday, hiking, cycling around the river, concerts, theatres, fine dining, festivals, going for break weekends, etc.

I’m a very curious, friendly, sociable and easygoing person.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people and new cultures, learning and collaborating 🙂

Music, Movies, and Books

I like reading classic literature books.

Anna Karenina is the best book I’ve ever read so far. Still trying to find something similar but I’ve been told that it’s going to be difficult...

Chronicle of a Death Foretold by Gabriel García Márquez is also one of my favourite books. It’s charming.

I’ve never been to Vietnam but The Lover by Marguerite Duras took me there. Such a great description of the colours, scents and feelings.

Regarding the music, some of my favourites themes are Remembering by Avishai Cohen or The Blower's Daughter by Demian Rice.
