Hi! I'm saving money to get my profile verified ($48), bare with me!

I'm a half Spanish half British graduate student, currently studying in America! I did my undergraduate degree at Cambridge in art history. I love lots of different types of art: surrealism, russian art, orientalism, contemporary art... Now I'm spending a year studying at Harvard studying Mexican art! I'm also an artist and do lots of ceramics work - I make mugs and decorative vessels.

I grew up in the UK but my mother is Spanish and all my family live over there, so I have always travelled between Bristol and Valladolid, Spain. Now, I'm trying to travel around as much of the world as I can!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet new people! As a student, I am always making new friends and meeting new people. Having a student budget has never stopped me! Couch surfing seems to be the perfect way to keep doing what I love.

Also, as an artist and an art historian, I am always looking for people to go to art galleries with and share pictures with!
