Hi world, Im Patri! A little bit about me... I grew up in Barcelona, an amazing city, but now its time for some traveling and nature in Central America. I'm an art lover and my biggest passion is dance. I studied dance since the age of 5 and I still do it. I studied physical therapy at university and nowadays I combine both jobs (physiotherapy and all kind of art-performance-dance related jobs), my heart has always been divided between art and science. I am traveling to Costa Rica for a dance formation. After it, I want to explore the country. I search for new experiences, out-of-my-comfort zone experiences, new flavours, smells, sounds, faces... Ready to share and have fun. I always carry a good book in my bag, a notebook, and headphones for my music. I speak english, french, italian, spanish and just a little bit of german, and my native language is Catalan. I love learning new languages as you learn how to see the world with other eyes. I would be so pleased to learn many more and to teach mine. Physical exercise is one of my essential pillars: dance, yoga, marcial arts, surfing, playing...any kind of movement, just move! Another basic essential is nutrition, waiting impatiently to share cooking moments with people from other countries. I am hard-working and demanding, very calmed and balanced, positive energy, easy-going and very open-minded person.

Teach, Learn, Share

Life is about sharing.

What I Can Share with Hosts

What can I offer to the world? Movement of course, from a dancer-body but also with the vision of a therapist. And also my hands and my therapies. Teaching and sharing languages too, as I have worked many years teaching kids. I can help with all kind of creative-artistic tasks (painting, decorating...) and with public-adressed positions, as I am used to work in touch with people and to meet new faces every day. Willing to share my hands and my smile!
