Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Post-doctoral fellow at BC Cancer. Vancouver
ABOUT ME
I am 33 years old and I come from Barcelona, actually from a small city in the pre-pyrenees, Berga, which is close to the mountains in the north of Catalonia.
I enjoy meeting new people around the world, being part of nice adventures as I love nature, throwing parties as well as chilling-out after a proper meal.
I lived alone in Barcelona because of my studies and then I moved to The Netherlands to develop my career. Now I am settling down in Vancouver with my Italian guy, Marco. I enjoy meeting new people and discovering different cultures and couch-surfing experiences bring this up just so easily that I love it!
PHILOSOPHY
I am a kind of person who loves learning about all. I am curious, if I don't know about something I'll try to discover it. I love sports, specially swimming and fitness in general.
I also spent a considerable amount of time in the kitchen as I like to cook fresh products and eat diverse food. I like to learn about different gastronomies and then cook my own fusion dishes!
