CURRENT MISSION

Learn all there is about Barcelona and Catalan culture/ become the best teacher I can be

ABOUT ME

I am a very talkative person, I am interested in what others have to teach me. I am 28 but still consider myself a child. I love to read even if at times I don't have time for it (Fowles, Vonnegut, Auster, Murakami, Marquez), I love history and listening to stories about the past. I have traveled a lot until now, I lived in the States one year, when I was 7 years old, worked there in 2009 and 2011, fell in love with some mountains in NY State.

I was an Erasmus student in Italy, Perugia in 2008-2009. (and I loved it!)

I love my cat.
That's about it for now:)

PHILOSOPHY

“Hello babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. On the outside, babies, you've got a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies-"God damn it, you've got to be kind.” K. Vonnegut

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosted a couple of times and so far I have surfed twice, in the States. Both times were really nice experiences.

Since I moved to Barcelona in 2012 I have hosted a couple of friends and friends of friends, and now that I have a bigger place, I can share it more often, granted I am here or not fully booked with couchsurfers coming over

Update: I've had around 8 lovely couchsurfers since April 2014 and looking forward to hosting more

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

Have been to China and Japan as a tourist, have taken care of children in the States, have busked on the streets of London:D I hiked 18 mountains one summer and would love to be back in that wonderful area (The Adirondacks, NY state) to hike some more. And recently...have moved to Barcelona and have been teaching English for 2 years!
