Hi everyone, hope you have a good day! My name is Julia, I am from Belgium but I fell in love with Granada and has been living there since 2020. I really enjoy my time in this beautiful city and I hope that Granada will take your heart too.

I consider myself as a friendly and kind person; I love learning about other cultures and I try my best to make people comfortable around me. I also love animals and I have a crazy cat called Simba 😺 (currently living with dad since I moved out recently). I hope we can meet and share nice moments together 🙏!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

While I did visit several countries and enjoyed my trips, I realised that I was more a tourist than a traveler. I am in a period of my life where I want to travel by connecting with people and discover new places from different points of view. I hope I can help travelers to experience that too while in Granada 🙏

Music, Movies, and Books

Everyone should read the forty rules of love by Elif Shafak ❤️ I also really like Haruki Murakami and Amin Maalouf's novels. Make me discover beautiful books and I will be grateful for a lifetime!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Going on a hot-air balloon tour above the valley of the kings in Luxor was unreal

Teach, Learn, Share

Even though I am from Belgium, Granada feels like home now and I would love to show some hidden gems and tell what I know about its history. Of course, I can also talk about Belgium 🇧🇪! It would be very nice to learn about each other's culture and personal background.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would love to introduce you to my friends and show you around after my work. I can also help you organise your trip in Andalucia and translate from Spanish if you don't speak it.
