About Me

First of all, i'm in couchsurfing for making friends and NOTHING more, if you want something more please use other apps that are made for that. It is sad but I had to write this here for the amount of people that is using CS for dating 🥺

For now my life is quite crazy so I cannot host because I just moved and trying to figure it out everything.. But I am so happy to find a moment to share with you 😊 Hope near I can start hosting again!!

I'm a happy and crazy person, I love meeting people and learning through their lifes and knowledge.

I always try that people feel comfortable being with me, I am super social but also I adapt easy to everything, so please don't feel worry for telling me your needs, I will really apreciate and respect them 💜

I love animals and nature, I'm biologist!! :D
I was a profesional volleyball player so we can play beach volley if you want.
My work is to protect Nature, I define natural parks and its protection plan and conservation strategies in all Catalonia.
I also love drawing, painting, sculping (I will start a degree this year) bodypainting, making masks, free dancing... and learning different skills as much as I can!!!

For me couchsurfing is not sleeping for free, is deciding that I can be an interesting person with things in common and wanted to know me and my city. I work during the morning until 4pm.

I have a motorbike also, so we can move easely in the town ;)
There are many people that want to stay in my home, so I will only accept the ones that are interested in knowing me. Please, send me the request some days before you arrive (but no very earlier because I will not know if I can), thank you!

LGTBIQ+ friendly, vegetarian, feminist

What I Can Share with Hosts

Visit different places, have a good time and party at night. If you don't have references I won't accept to accomodate you for security (I'm sorry), unless you show me that you are a truly person. When you ask me to sleep in my home write "Rockstar" so I Will know that you are truly interested in knowing me.

Useful information:

- be carefull with your things (mostly in crowded places), there are many thieves that stole tourists
- visit Gaudí Buildings (sagrada familia (book on-line with time ), casa Batlló, casa Milà, parc Güell)
- center of the city (plaça Catalunya, la Rambla, la Catedral, boqueria market, bosc de les fades pub, galeries malda (if you are a freak),
- good viewpoints of the city (Tibidabo, Bunkers, Montjuïc)
- wonderful hiking near (1h) - Montserrat - or Collserola if you don't have much time (but really if you can go to Montserrat, there is a monastery too) - https://www.google.com/search?q=montserrat&sxsrf=ACYBGNQgKS9TzR8hPF9dh3EeDUI8wRRyfQ:1574179716254&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiC6bK21PblAhVKhRoKHYfPDf8Q_AUIEygC&biw=1366&bih=625
- wonderful cities near (1h train) - Girona and Tarragona
- best places to eat paella (https://www.mantelacuadros.com/mejores-paellas-barcelona/)
- best pinchos (north of Spain like Logroño, Navarra and País Vasco). If you still want to try pinchos in Barcelona, go to Blai street.
- best typical catalan food (https://www.timeout.cat/barcelona/ca/menjar-i-beure/50-millors-restaurants-de-Barcelona-cuina-catalana)
- good neighbourhoods: el barri gòtic, el born, gràcia
- good urban parks (https://barcelonacolours.com/los-10-mejores-parques-de-barcelona/)
- beach.. Barcelona beach is a typical urban beach. If you want something more wild.. try in Delta del Llobregat or Tarragona (platja llarga, cala waikiki) or in Girona (https://www.viajeroscallejeros.com/mejores-playas-costa-brava/)
- party at night, there are many places. It depends on the day and the music you like. For techno and indie there is Apolo on monday. Razzmatazz is good too, I think they have party every day. In the beach there are many clubs too. It depend on which type of music you can find concerts everyday! Also there are pubs and discos LGTBI+ (Arena and Aire)

Barcelona has many things to see, to try, to experience... so only check in internet and you will find it. If not, you can ask me about it and i will try to help you :)
