About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Viajar te va a hacer crecer. Es un ejercicio de independencia. Es una de las mejores inversiones que uno pueda hacer en esta vida.

ABOUT ME

I am really curious and social girl, usually make people laugh (don't ask me why, ask to my CS friends :D).
I grow up Barcelona and I spent 1 year living in Breda (The Netherlands) for a study exchange program. Now I am back in Barcelona, my hometown, after 3'5 living in Bristol (England).

Get the most out of every day. I believe that time and health are the most valuable aspects in life. I love to live to the fullest, discovering new things. I try to care about my friends and I can easily appreciate someone.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to do always what I want, following my heart and living in peace. As you might now, happiness is not a goal in life, Is just a way to live determined by oneself.
Quotes I like:
"Like all great travellers, I have seen more than I remember, and remember more than I have seen "
"You only truly know a place when you know its people"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Being optimist and honest, I have been surfing on several countries.
Accepting all the people the way they are, is my target to self-improvement and spiritual growth. Meeting different people, hearing their different opinions teaches us to see the world from the other angle.
"The only reason to live is to travel and the only reason to travel is to learn how to live".
