Hola! I'm Kirsty from Scotland, you can call me Kiki. I love nature, travel, running, reading, I'm a huge animal lover and a passionate Vegan.

How did I end up here... after school I went to art school. I have always loved drawing, painting, basically anything creative. After two years of study (and the fear of being held by the shackles of the matrix), I decided I should travel more to gain a wider perspective on the world and find some inspiration for my creativity again.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm looking to make platonic connections, I'm currently living near Barcelona. I love to meet people while travelling and share new experiences. I'm down to explore nature, share stories and food, play games (we're not really strangers?) and see new things.

I have Couchsurfed before (using my ex-partners account, hence the lack of references) and I really enjoyed getting a deeper insight of local life, culture and creating down-to-earth, authentic connections. I love the sense of community the platform opens and I would like to pay this forward and host other travellers in the future when possible!
