Hey stranger!

I'm a 22 years old Catalan girl who loves travelling around at meeting people from different cultures and countries.
I live with my family in a small town near Barcelone, where I study at university. But in fact, now I'm on Erasmus in Lisbon!
During most of the winters, I work as a skiing teacher in the Pyrenees. So here there are two of the many things I love: sports and kids.
What else?
I have a "non-blood family" in Mali and I live with them every summer while I volunteer in an alphabetization project named ABÉCÉ. Moreover, I've my own project for renovating a small hospital outside of Bamako.
So yes, helping the others is one of my main hobbies and goals in life.

My other main hobbie is "castells", a cultural practice typical from Catalonia. By climbing one above the other, teams are able to build up to ten floors human castles.

I guess that's all about me! I'm willying to meet you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

I like all types of music, from Bruce Springsteen to Bob Marley. I'm as well interested in African singers such as Fatoumata Diawara, Salif Keita or Mylmo.

I'm open-minded when it comes to books and movies too: adventures, history, romantic, humor...everything's okay. Oh excuse me, I forgot to tell you that I can't have a good time with horror movies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was 18 years old when I decided to go by myself to Mali and started an alphabetization project. Two years later, I started a new project to renovate a medical center in the same country. The project has grown since then and I've just come back from Mali, we've built a kindergarten in Bamako!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm always willing to learn languages so if there's a chance to make and exchange I'm in! I can teach you Catalan, Spanish, English and...a bit of Bambara!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm a happy and open-minded traveller willing to share as much as possible. I've been through many adventures and experiences in Africa so I'll be happy to share memories with you.

I practice 'castells', so maybe I can teach you how we do human towering!
