CURRENTLY ON VACATION BACKPACKING AROUND ITALY :) I will be back on Barcelona on the 20th of August, so I will be glad to host you after that!

Hi everyone!

I am a young woman that loves to travel and meet new people in my small (or not so small) journeys around the world. Currently, I am traveling around Europe meeting old friends and getting to know new ones ☺️

As I am a very open-minded person, I have an incredible facility in traveling by myself with no problems at all. That is something I realized I *love* to do since I was 17 and I did my first trip alone, to New Zealand! In this experience, I did several trekkings and culture immersions in this amazing country and ever since I never stopped traveling. I understood that once you get to know freedom in such a pure and close way, you can never go back. I am extremely grateful for everything I lived up to this point.

Hope to get to know even more places and people :)))

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I simply love the concept of CS to share places, culture, ideas and everything that comes all along with the CS xp. Besides that, I am a low-cost traveler so this xp also helps me to save a considerable amount especially when visiting very traditional and/or center cities.
