About Me

I'm 22 years old basque girl. Currently studying visual arts and education in Barcelona. And enjoying life!
I love meeting people, traveling, learn new things! I also love to create.
I like to spend time with friends or partying with crazy people, but i enjoy to be alone as well, listening to music, drawing or writing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I discovered couchsurfing when i went to study to Gent (Be). i travelled a lot and used couchsurfing, living amazing experiences! it's completely different to discover a place meeting people who live there!
I also use to host people at my place. we met awesome people !!!

Interests

I love playing and listening to music. i play violin since i was 6 years old and i like to sing. I listen to music every day, i try to always discover new things. I'm very interested in all the arts in general: I like to draw, to write, take photos, make videos, dance!...

Spend time with my family and my friends is very important for me. I love to laugh and I love to love!

I also enjoy a lot traveling. I think is the best way to learn and think by yourself. It opens your mind in different ways. That's how I learn a lot about myself as well.

I'm involved in the social-political life. I am volunteer in several organizations (festival, different DIY projects...). I spend most of my free time participating in those associations. This is very important to me.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite music artist is definitely Björk.
I also like a lot Sigur Ros, Warpaint, Chelsea Wolfe, The Do, Yann Tiersen, Queen, Radiohead, Son Lux, several classical music composers or many other basque groups... Our local music is very good!
But I like many other styles and groups as well. I can't list them all, the list would be too long!

My favourite movie is "Le fabuleux destin d'Amelie Poulain". I fell in love with this film when I was 12 years old and since then I can watch it very often, without never getting bored!

I love poetry books. Lately, i'm reading Allen Ginsberg's poems.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Go to Iceland by myself! The most beautiful experience I've never lived!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm really interested in meeting people from all around the world. I would like to get to know different cultures and languages. And of course, share mine!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'd love to teach you my first language, basque. I really appreciate it and I am very attached! Moreover, I can maybe teach you some things about the Basque Country, in order to understand our reality and our culture
I can also give violin lessons ;)
Ready to help with anything !
