About Me

Hello everybody! I'm a journalist based in Mallorca and a photography lover. Currently, I'm working in the Balearic Islands Government’s communication department. Maybe that might sound like I'm a very serious person, but I'm not at all. My passion is meeting people, knowing their stories and learning about their cultures: that's the real reason why I studied Journalism on the first place. But another important reason is my passion for writing.

At this moment, I think my life need some kind of change. I want to escape from the routine and the answer to all the questions I kept asking myself was in front of me: to become a Couchsurfer. When I was living in Barcelona, my roommate was doing Couchsurfing and the experience, with a lot of people visiting us at home, was fantastic. So, now that I'm living alone in my birthplace, Palma, it's a good moment to become a Couchsurfer and to meet people who visits this beautiful island. Are you in? :P

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Saying that I love travelling is an obvious statement from everybody in Couchsurfing, so I will just add that I think the best way to really know the places I visit is with a local person. I hope I will be a good host and a good guest.

Apart of travelling and taking photos, I'm a beer and (red) wine lover. I can take you to some places to taste some local beers and wines (and licors too!)... they are amazing! I like doing sport, especially padel. If we go to a bar with billiards, you can try to beat me, but good luck with that :P

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd like to improve my English and to learn how to cook different dishes from all around the world. I can show you some different places to taste our local cuisine and deserts. Also, I can take you to some paradisiac beach or to beautiful hidden corners of Mallorca.

If you want to improve your Spanish or Catalan, here I am!
