Overview
About Me
Hello, I'm a 24 years old languages student who loves traveling and meeting new people. I love learning and discovering new things, exploring the places I visit and take an awful lot of photos while asking questions (I'm very curious). I love to try ALL the food too. When I'm not traveling I spend a lot of time studying my kanji dictionary, listening to music and playing air guitar (or badly dancing to bubblegum pop music) and mostly reading and writing a lot of the time. That is, when I'm not out with friends talking and talking and talking (I love to talk). I'm an open-minded and positive person, and I'll likely look for the same things in other people :)
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I travel quite a bit, and one thing I've learnt in all my previous experiences is that people is often what makes it an amazing experience, so I've come back here with the full intention of finally making good use of this website. I look forward to meet great people, learn a lot and have lots of fun :)
Interests
Hard one, but surely languages, traveling, books, writing, yoga and working out, music, FOOD, cinema and tv, tattoos and dinosaurs cover a lot of what interests me.

Music, Movies, and Books
For books I love Pride and prejudice and Persuasion, Harry Potter, several Stephen King books, and anything by Neil Gaiman, Chuck Palahniuk or Gillian Flynn. Also some classics such as Hamlet or The book of tea.
Some of my favorite movies include: Oldboy (Vengeance trilogy), The Truman Show, Trainspotting, Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, Million Dollar Baby, Toy Story Trilogy, Star Wars Grease, Dirty Dancing, Joint Security Area, Grave of the fireflies, Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, etc.
I listen to tons of very different, from classic rock to bubblegum pop to some hip hop. These days I'm particularly listening to Bon Jovi, David Bowie, Elle King, X Japan, Lianne La Havas, Akdong Musician, Slash, Bryan Adams, SHINee...
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I've been to Niagara Falls, I spent 12 days in Amsterdam with a group of amazing people I'd never met before and I traveled around Japan, constantly in awe, meeting some of the greatest people I have ever met.
Teach, Learn, Share
I love languages, so that's probably my #1 thing! I speak Spanish (obviously) and English fluently, my Catalan is a bit rusty but I do speak it as it is my mother tongue, and I am learning Japanese and I'd love to practice it!
What I Can Share with Hosts
My languages skills, my hand in the kitchen, help, and some really good conversation, I guess :)
Countries I’ve Visited
Belgium, Canada, England, France, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, South Korea
