About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Exploring, explaining and sharing the world.

ABOUT ME

Hi! I am a journalist with a longlife desire to wander around the world. Since I was a little girl, I've always beared in mind the idea of discovering every bit of the globe. Anyway, I'm in love with my hometown (Barcelona) and I enjoy showing it to visitors, especially those parts of it that remain less well-known.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

By now I can't host surfers at my home, but I'm willing to hang out and show you around. I have attended some Couchsurfing events in Barcelona which was a great way to meet new people and share experiences!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I first tried Couchsurfing in Ireland two years ago and immediately fell in love with this idea of travel. I haven't been able to host surfers at my home yet, but I've met surfers in Barcelona and it's been a blast! Even though I'm quite new to Coachsurfing, I'm looking forward to filling my life with genuine experiences.

Interests

When I decided to get into journalism, I saw it as an opportunity to explore any field of knowledge. By talking to people and listening to the things they feel passionate about you get a kind of knowledge that is truly valuable.

(Although if I have to be more specific, I do love talking about music, literature, linguistics and social issues!)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I would go with the simplest pleasures (many of them related to music!) such as getting lost in Alfama (Lisboa, Portugal) where I found the tiniest café ever and listened to a beautiful fado.

Teach: I can teach some Catalan and Spanish as well as how to cook a pretty awesome potato omelette!

Learn: I am always excited to learn different languages and how to play music instruments (although I have terrible skills!).
