About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Living in -awesome- Berlin. I want to travel more around Europe. Next destinations in mind: Amsterdam, Malta, Budapest, Bucarest, Toscana.
Looking also for a longer trip, to Thailand.

ABOUT ME

I am a traveling-loving person. I enjoy to discover new places, and to meet locals. I am friendly, kind, funny, enthusiastic and optimist.

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoy every day, respect others and love yourself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can't host at the moment, but I'd love to show you the best spots of Berlin :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have had two couch surfing experiences.
The first one was in San Francisco, California. My host was Jessica, and it was the most wonderful experience I have ver had. I was really surprised of her kindness, she even drove me one day to Yosemite to spend there one day. I cooked a typical Spanish dish and brought it to our trip, and she loved it too. Unfortunately I do not have any reference of her in this profile, because I had another profile before which I am not using anymore. I hope to see her again somehow, she is more than welcome to come to Barcelona whenever she wants, with her son as well.
My second experience was in York, England. I went there with my sister, which was the one to do the reservation through her couchsurfing profile. Carol was our host, and our experience with her was amazing as well. She prepared us the typical Yorkshire breakfast: porridge! And showed us different delicious places to eat in York.
Carol came to Barcelona few months after our stay in York. She slept at my sister's apartment, and I showed her the city and also nice places where to eat the most traditional Catalan dishes in Barcelona. She really enjoyed her stay and I hope to see her again soon.

Interests

I have a great interest in meeting people, and to listen to their stories. In my free time I read, quite a lot, watch movies or TV shows and as soon as I have free time and money, I check cheap flights and go somewhere to discover it.

Music, Movies, and Books

I mostly listen to Indie Pop music, but I like a variety of genres... Love electro and techno music to dance until my body says stop.
I can't say which one is my favorite movie, but for example I love Quentin Tarantino's movies.
My favorite writer is Jeanette Winterson, and one of my favorite books is "Written in the Body". And, as well, I am a fanatic of J.K Rowling's Harry Potter books.
