I'm a Libra and I study Spanish & Portuguese in Manchester, UK. The course involves a lot of hispanic history and politics (as well as language grammar) which I am very enthusiastic to learn about, I also looove to chat about these subjects.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Currently trying to travel as much as I can, as a student with little free time and even less money. Always up for meeting new people, going out partying, seeing new things. I love to explore architecture and especially the natural world like beautiful beaches/lakes in the summer.

Interests

I love learning languages, on my profile I put Spanish and Portuguese in both 'fluent' and 'learning' because I'm somewhere in-between and definitely always still learning. French is something completely new for me and I'm a beginner with basics but very eager to learn.

Cooking is something that I love to be creative with and spend a lot of time in the kitchen when I want to enjoy my food. I think food is best enjoyed as an experience with music and friends. For example I normally spend a while cooking a paella and eat with Spanish music and some sangria to finish off the experience Lol

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm a huge fan of Rosalia, flamenco and reggaeton. I listen to rap music, I listen to and heavily appreciate good pop music (like 00s bangers, also Charli XCX/Carly Rae Jepsen). I also listen to British indie music - I'm from Sheffield, the home of Arctic Monkeys.

I'm alwayyysss watching films when I get free time. I have an account on Letterboxd for rating/reviewing movies and its a great place to find recommendations of new directors or films. My favourite genre is probably social realism, both in film and photography. My favourite films of all time are Kill Bill, Trainspotting, Cidade de
Deus and The Handmaiden.
