Overview
About Me
I'm a 25-year-old Spanish girl from Barcelona now living in The Hague, Netherlands. I have lived abroad three times, in the UK, Japan and the Netherlands. I have also spent long times in France, Germany, Ireland and Australia.
I'm an open-minded girl who's always trying to meet people from other countries and whose dream is to visit every country in the world (29 so far) and live plenty of adventures that make me happy.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
One of the things I enjoy the most when travelling is getting a glimpse on how locals live. Therefore I enjoy walking around the streets, noticing the little details that make cities unique, and having delicious local food!
Getting to know different cultures and ways of thinking/living amazes me and I find so interesting not only for my professional career but also at a personal level!!

Music, Movies, and Books
I enjoy listening to a wide variety of musical styles: rock, jazz, pop, salsa, rap, funk, soundtrack music... and I am open to listen to music from different countries as it is a way for me to become interested in the culture and the language!
My favourite movies are Inception, Harry Potter saga (especially the 3rd one), Life of Pi, Princess Diaries, Lion, Gone with the Wind, Coco, Austin Powers, School of Rock, Your Name, The Help and Chicago (among others).
My favourite books are:
Fiction: A Song of Ice and Fire saga, Harry Potter saga, 1984, Animal Farm, The Book Thief, The Great Gatsby
Non-fiction: any Tim Marshall book, The Power of Habit, Histories of Nations, The Great Empires of Asia, Who Moved my Cheese, The Culture Map, The 4-Hour Work Week
