CURRENT MISSION To live and be happy ABOUT ME Hello to everyone! I am from Catalonia and I live in the beautiful city of Barcelona right now. I like doing a lot of different stuff, I like museums, art, reading, and I am not really following any TV show, but I have some favorite TV series like Star Gate or Big Bang Theory. I also like playing board games, role games, watching movies and hanging out at a coffee or restaurant with friends. I'm quite easy-going and talkative, I really like history and politics a lot and I apply my knowledge about these areas when I guide foreigners through the city. I live with my husband Dany, he's Mexican, and we try to spend as much time as possible together. He's really into cuisine and can show you some amazing Mexican dishes. I love his way of cooking. He also loves languages and used to work as a teacher for a long time. You could practice with both of us your Spanish or Catalan or any other language we're able to communicate in. I have to say I'm not very fond of checking my profile here so I recommend you to contact Dany for a faster answer about acommodation or any other request.
