Hiya! I'm Laila, 21. I'm a Translation and Interpreting student in Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. I'm an outgoing person and I enjoy making new friends and learning about them, their ideologies and cultures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Living in the UK for 10 months made me learn a lot and grow as a person. It's developed social skills in me I never thought I potentially had. I felt like I even engaged more in the international environment in which I lived than in my own culture's one. I want to continue meeting people from everywhere around the globe and sharing experiences and thoughts on random stuff because that's what makes us grow and understand how we human beings work and learn to tolerate everyone. It's what makes us celebrate our differences and admire them.

Interests

Alright, first of all: I'm a geek. My fav hobbies are reading books or mangas, watching anime and tv shows, drawing...
Nevertheless, I do normal stuff too. I love hanging out, discovering new places, trying new things, partying... But what I like most is getting to know people. Their views, their ideology... I'm way too sympathetic, so I always relate with what people feel. Or if I don't, I like people to tell me their arguments so that I can get to "understand". I think understanding is very important — putting yourself in someone's shoes. Even with the smallest things. The main problem with society is that people don't do that. Selfishness is human, but still....

Anyway, you may think by now that I'm a weirdo. Well, maybe I am. It's okay.

Furthermore, these past few months I've gotten interested in "fit lifestyle" thingy. I've started to eat more healthy, exercise almost daily... Well, i'm still working on it. I'm currently trying the keto WOE and I'm kinda proud — I realise that my body is better, less... rotten? Yeah, probably that.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm not much a movie person. I'm too lazy to stay two hours and a half watching a movie if it's not in the cinema or with someone. Paradoxically, I can watch 20 episodes in a row of a TV show. Don't ask me why or how, I don't know. xD

Books: Harry Potter, The Mortal Instruments, The Infernal Devices, Percy Jackson, 13 reasons why, Eleanor & Park, The Vampire Diaries, Divergent, The Hunger Games, Memorias de Idhún, El mundo de Komori, Macbeth, ..

Animes/Mangas: Kodomo No Omocha, Haikyuu, Akatsuki No Yona, Detective Conan, Fushigi Yugi, Orange,

Teach, Learn, Share

I love learning languages and stuff about cultures. It's my passion.
I love talking, those long-lasting deep conversations... Sharing stuff, views, knowledge...

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can teach you how I cook my healthy-yet-delicious meals, how to draw manga, some of my Spanish culture and the Moroccan one as well (my dad is from Morocco), some of the languages I speak/I'm learning or I can even try to get you into one of the fandoms I'm in!
