Overview
About Me
Basically, when you meet me is going to be quite hard for you to believe that I'm not 100% British (some say Essex), but I was born and raised in Barcelona.
My parents decided to move out to Salou 'cause they thought it would be a nice neighborhood to live in with kids (Oh God, they were wrong) but anyway I live in Barcelona during the school year, as I study Advertising and Public Relations at Universitat de Barcelona (UB) and spend my summer in Salou as it's all sun and party, although I don't really relate with warm weather - really considering moving to UK as soon as I finish my degree, as I feel like I don't really belong here, we nearly have no different types of tea!
My friends say I'm an extrovert and funny person and way too talkative (I guess it gets a bit annoying) but you can always shut me up with music (or... Kinda. I'd jam to Taylor Swift for hours and you don't really wanna hear that - more real taste in music below).
I've been studying English since I was 4 years old and, despite I've learnt a lot with years, I don't know where this freaking accent came from - you'll have to check yourself!
I speak fluent French as well, since I've taken classes for nearly 6 years and well, of course Spanish and Catalan!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Basically I'd like to travel the world and I think that visiting a country is not a full experience until you do so with someone who knows the place deeply and can take you to places that might not be on your trip guide.
As well, as I'm a student, I'm not rich enough to go spending my money on 5 stars hotels so... Here I am!
When it comes to hosting, I'd love to have friends all over the world and I really enjoy showing people around.
Interests
Although I'm kind of a fussy eater, I'd say it's one of the things I enjoy the most (sounds pretty fat-ish right?), you can always find me with a doughnut, I should be really fat by now, but wait for it, Karma'll come.
Apart from that I enjoy watching good movies and listening to music, I swear I could stay overnight to an Arctic Monkeys or The Smiths CD, I blame whoever invented Spotify for my insomnia.
I'd say that, despite being a youngster, I enjoy way more going out for drinks to meet people and get to a deep conversation rather than going out to a discotheque or something like that, but I can take both!
