After many years of teaching in my country, Catalonia, I went backpacking for almost 2 years around five continents of the world and I have been now more than 4 years in Australia working as a waitress and tour guide and travelling. At the moment I am in Melbourne working in IT applied to Archaeology.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe that meeting people from different cultures give us the big picture and makes us not only more knowledgeable but also more courageous, free and tolerant. Certainly, my trips around the world wouldn´t have been half as interesting without Cs.

I partitipate being a guest, hosting and attending meetings
