Aloha:) My name is Amaia and I am from Barcelona. I am a very outgoing person who enjoys travelling and learning about the world. I am studying Liberal Arts and Sciences in Maastricht and I am focusing on Biomedical Sciences. When I was in high school I spent one year in the United States (South Carolina) and It was an enriching experience. I am currently living in the Netherlands studying University here and I am really enjoying my time in this country. My college is international so I am getting to know people from all over the world which I absolutely love! In my spare time, I work for the University, play volleyball, participate as an Active Member of the International Student Network of Maastricht (ISN) and I am part of the Feminist, Cinema and Party Committee of my Uni. As you can tell I am very active person and happy person!:) Looking forward to meeting you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on Couchsurfing because I think this website is a wonderful way of getting to know people from different parts of the world while travelling and the experience you get out of it allows you to actually get to know the city in a more authentic and personal way!
