About Me

Born in Boston, lived in Paris, raised in Munich and Barcelona. My parents (born and raised in Munich) have raised me bilingual due to my mother's side having American background. I've learned to speak Spanish over the years and can understand some Catalan.

I graduated high school in Barcelona in 2018. Currently, I'm taking a gap year before university to not only find myself and my passion but also to connect with people from all over the place and take a step back to enjoy the beauty of this world.

I have lots of passions and am always open to trying new things. In the past, I've played the drums, piano, and now, guitar (which I love very much). I've also played lots of different sports, including field hockey, soccer, basketball, swimming, running, and my favorite, volleyball. Additionally, I have lots of love for the non-human beings of this world, animals. I feel that growing up with rabbits, cats, and a dog has made me more caring. My love for them has additionally helped and strengthened my decision to go vegan (back in 2014). At first, I was the only one living vegan in my family, but now, my whole family has transitioned (everyone at their own pace).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My mom has hosted lots of couchsurfers over the past year and so I have come to meet some really fun people. At first, I was skeptical at the idea of staying at a strangers home, but with the experiences I've made, its been incredible and I'm so thankful for it. I love learning about other people and their passions. Also, I love having friends all over the world - it gives me even more reason to travel!

Music, Movies, and Books

MUSIC
I mostly find myself listening to gentle music, lofi, cloud rap. Favorite artists include Pink Floyd, Flughand, Tomppabeats... I love discovering new genres and songs through recommendations from friends and am super open to any type of music!

MOVIES
I'm not much of a "movie watcher", more into series probably because I love following the evolution of characters and story lines (Lost, Dexter, Westworld, Misfits...) But every now and then I'll watch a good movie with a friend. Documentaries have always interested me but I've never really gotten into them...Always open to new suggestions!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to cook and bake with my mom (who's always making food for everybody), so I'd love to prepare some food with my hosts to show my gratitude and appreciation. I'm also always up to have a good deep discussions about life and what not :)
