Hi! my name is Berta, I am a 22 years old spanish girl, born in Barcelona, and actually living and studying Fine Arts in Greece.

I would define myself as a calm person, a little shy at the beginning maybe, but very curious and energic when I get confident. I enjoy watching films with people, an playing games where painting or writing is involved.

I love animals, I always had cats in my house and I really thing they make everything better.
I am also interested in cuisine, even though I have not studied anything related with it, sometimes I spend time with my friends trying to cook some new recipes whe are able to fins on internet.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I especially like to discover how people live their nowadays in other cultures and I thought couchsurfing was a very nice way of meeting people of the place I am visiting and also let them disover how I live.
