CURRENT MISSION

listen to my soul... where is it going to take me??? I'm ready for everything...

ABOUT ME

Happy to live in my hometown, Barcelona, one of the worl top ten!
I'm lucky I could travel a lot: Australia for 8 months and Southeast Asia for 7 months apart from living in London and Italy. Now it's time to enjoy my city and study acting, something that I always wanted to do!

Talking about me, I'm a bit different depending on the situations, but in general terms I'm an open-minded person always willing to learn something. This means that I'm shy when I don't know people too much but after a few conversations, the Isa appears. Always in the mood on having a chat, laughing, watching a film, cooking something or going to a concert.

I like traveling however what I like the most is living in different countries. I'm lucky I was born in Barcelona, when I could enjoy a bilingual environment, and having a South-Spain family. I've got lots of different inputs that enriched me quite a lot.

When I was 24 I live in Italy for 6 months and this was my first on site contact with Italian culture and definitely, I fell in love! Going there at least once a year.

Being a bit itchy feet, I felt the need of living away again and that time I chose London and I've lived there for 2 years. To be honest, the first was very funny, hanging out always with Spaniards while meeting people from all around the world however the second was more boring cause I was just focused on learning English.

Then, in 2011, was the go for Australia. I was travelling around for 8 months, it was a complete and different experience and I learned as much as possible and then, back in 2016, I backpacked South East Asia for 7 lonths, awesome!

PHILOSOPHY

In Spanish we say "vive y deja vivir" that it means "live and let live". I like to do whatever I'm up at any time and I don't listen to all of the negative people who wants you to give up and live the life the would like me to have.

I'm an itchy feet person who is always ready to change life and start again at any place. Fortunately I've got the best family I would have never wished who let me move around, even dough I've got a mortgage to pay (from my previous capitalist time in my life)🤔

I know I'm getting older however I do still enjoy to have some drinks and dance all night long. I'm lucky I've got plenty of friends with the same philosophy and it really helps me out!!! hahaha

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I joined CS on November 2010 following my CS friends suggestions and I founded so useful. It's what travelers and extrovert people need!

I've being hosted in Australia, The Philipines, Camboya, Thayland and hosted a few people in Barcelona.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I met people in Barcelona and Madrid and have a really great time with CSers in Australia. It made my trip! I was pleased to cook the delicious Spanish omelet and other delicious Spanish dishes.

Interests

Music and cinema are, indeed, the two main interests in my life. I could no probably life without music. Since I wake up til I'm going to bed. Working, walking or being on the beach, it is always with me.
Bands that I like the most: placebo, manic street preachers, blur, travis, radiohead, suede, pulp, arcade fire , massive attack, the smith, Morrisey, Muse, Los Planetas, Pastora, L.A., La Rouge, Belle & Sebastian, Hot Chip, Two Door Cinema Club, Monarchy, etc.

What to say about cinema??? That I do love it!!! I'm always up to watch a film, preferably on the cinemas but because I can't go as often as I want to, let's watch netflix at home, in good company ;)

However, my biggest passion is DANCING!!!! Everything! From a while I'm taking Bhangra lessons, a dance from India that is amazing! Besides I like riding a bike, going to the beach to sunbath for a while, go trekking, stay with family and friends and just enjoy our company.

Finally, I like reading books in different languages, trying not to read in Spanish while being away. This relaxes my mind before going to bed or just reading in my balcony in the afternoon.

Music, Movies, and Books

I could say lots of films and music but let's go for a few of them: The Sound of Music, La Vita é Bella, Todo sobre mi madre, One Million Dollar Baby, My life without Me (Coixet), Moulin Rouge, etc.

Music (as I said before): placebo, manic street preachers, blur, travis, radiohead, suede, pulp, arcade fire , massive attack, the smith, Morrisey, Muse, Los Planetas, Pastora, L.A., La Rouge, Belle & Sebastian, Hot Chip, Two Door Cinema Club, Monarchy, etc.

Books: whatever from Ken Follett (let's go for Pillars of the earth), Maldito Karma (Meises Karma), whatever from Robin Cook, etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing monument I've have never seen was the Luxor Temple, in Egypt. We organized a luxury dinner for an event and it was incredible!!!

Teach, Learn, Share

Be as you are, not pretending to be another person. Let's the energy flow and wait, something good will pop up.

LEARN how to get the best of you and the people surrounding you.

SHARE what you have inside. You never know how insignificant acts could help other people.
