About Me

Hiya! I am Marce, 28 years old, student, traveller, adventurer, hiker and animal lover 🐱🐶 about my personality, I am easy-going, laid-back and open minden person. I love to discover new places and meet up with locals.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I started my couchsurfing experience when I was an Erasmus student in Turin in 2015, and since then I have been using the website. I enjoy it because I can meet people, learn about different cultures, get valuable recomendations about places, and in return, I offer to cook delicious vegetarian dishes, a nice chat, and of course if you ever want to visit me in Chile you are more than welcome ;)

Interests

I love to explore the world, drink beer, hike, and learn new languages. In February 2020, I quit my job because the routine and lifestyle I was having was killing me. After that, I came to Spain to walk in the French camino de Santiago for more than 800 kms. in 35 days. Then I went to a town near Malaga to volunteer in a animal rescue center, with dogs, cats, donkeys, and a horse. Since then, I have been traveling around, mainly visiting the Andalusian province.
