Heyy everyone! My name is Mariona and I live together with my boyfriend Gabriel in Barcelona. We both love meeting new people and are currently interrailing around Europe during our summer vacation from University.

I study Biology and work as an English teacher. Gabriel study History, Economy, and Politics, and works as a podcaster for children.

In our free time we love playing Spikeball, watching football, and trying food from around the world!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music you can dance too. Movies that makes you laugh, especially stand up comedy, or makes you think, like a good documentary. And we love audiobooks, mainly so we can listen while making the dishes!

- Century Trilogy by Ken Follett
- Factfulness by Anna Rosling Rönnlund, Hans Rosling, and Ola Rosling

Found a sale of the 3 month Interrail ticket

What I Can Share with Hosts

Of course everything you want to know about Catalan food and history, and how it works when you dig for dinosaurs (yup, I’m into palaeontology!) Gabriel can share knowledge about producing 400 podcast episodes and teach you all weird Swedish traditions.
